I have a background in academia and the arts and specialize in working with LGBTQ patients. Before training as a psychoanalyst, I ran a writing center for graduate students at NYU where I helped students articulate their thoughts and ideas and understand their anxieties around writing. Now, I work with my patients in a similar fashion, through deep listening, helping them express themselves and better understand what may be getting in their way of living the life they want.
I am a board certified Mental Health Counselor who works with individuals and couples and provides care for patients who struggle with interpersonal relationships, depression and anxiety. I studied at Brooklyn College, where I obtained a MA in Mental Health Counseling. I also worked in the profession for over four years, where I established my objection relations & cognitive restructuring techniques that have been a crucial part of my practice and my patients' success and progress.
Therapy is a collaborative process, and a strong therapeutic relationship is key to meaningful progress and lasting change. My approach is grounded in a strengths-based, client-centered perspective that supports each person’s capacity for growth and self-understanding. I strive to create a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Whether you are navigating life transitions, managing stress, or seeking greater self-awareness, therapy can provide a space for reflection, healing, and meaningful change.

I am an LMHC in New York. I have been in private practice since 2015. I obtained my Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling in 2012 and began working in a residential setting, providing services to adults with chronic mental illness and substance use disorders, receiving numerous promotions along the way. After 11 years, I decided to move onto something new, obtaining a position as a Clinical Director in an outpatient clinic. I recently decided to pursue my private practice full time.
I’m Dr. Joseph Yanni, a licensed psychologist who works with teenagers, college students, young adults, adults, parents, and families navigating anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation, school and college stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I earned my Psy.D. in School Psychology from Fairleigh Dickinson University and continue to work as a school psychologist, supporting students with emotional disabilities in a specialized educational setting. This experience has given me a practical understanding of how emotional, academic, social, family, and developmental concerns often overlap.
I use a collaborative, practical, and integrative approach that draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, humanistic and person-centered therapy, behavioral strategies, and lifestyle-based interventions. I believe therapy should be individualized rather than following a one-size-fits-all model. Together, we work to better understand what is contributing to the concern, build practical coping skills, strengthen relationships, and develop realistic strategies that create meaningful change.
I work especially well with teenagers, college students, young adults, and parents navigating the transition from adolescence into adulthood, while also supporting adults and families facing anxiety, relationship concerns, and other important life challenges. I provide in-person therapy in Scarsdale and Pleasantville, along with virtual therapy throughout New York State.

Hello, and welcome. Deciding to start therapy is a meaningful step, and finding the right fit is essential to your journey.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Nassau County, Long Island. Over the years, my professional background has been rooted in supporting individuals through life's transitions, emotional challenges, and personal growth.
I view therapy as a collaborative process where clients are invited to make sense of their experiences in a way that feels authentic to them. Rather than directing the process, I focus on creating a supportive environment where individuals can speak openly, reflect at their own pace, and gain insight into their thoughts and emotions. In the midst of busy and often overwhelming daily life, having intentional time to pause and look inward can be a powerful part of personal growth.
Creating room for reflection can open the door to new perspectives and a deeper awareness of internal experiences. As clients begin to better understand their emotional responses and patterns, they often find greater clarity in how they relate to themselves and others. This increased awareness can support more intentional decision-making and help guide the next steps in their personal growth.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Rego Park
Searching for therapists in Rego Park starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, work stress, or a life transition. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and details about how they structure sessions. A bio that mentions approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care can help you understand whether a therapist’s training fits your needs.
Rego Park has access to therapists in nearby Queens neighborhoods like Forest Hills, Elmhurst, and Corona, but local appointment times may vary. Virtual therapy can expand your options while keeping your search close to home. Consider whether you prefer an in-person office, a virtual appointment, evening availability, or a therapist who offers a free phone consultation before the first session. Reading therapist profiles can also help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first appointment.
Therapy in Rego Park can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book.
