I’m Linda Orji, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over Eleven years of experience in health care.

Does your child or adolescent’s behavior leave you wondering, “What is going on?”Are they having meltdowns, withdrawing, struggling at school, worrying, or feeling sad? Children and adolescents often communicate their feelings through behavior long before they have the words to explain what they are experiencing.I work with children, adolescents, and families navigating challenges such as adoption, divorce, co-parenting, blended-family transitions, grief and loss, school-related worries, family conflict, and the growing push for independence. I help children and caregivers better understand what may be underneath the behavior while strengthening connection, communication, and emotional regulation. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor (RPT-S). I received my Doctorate in Clinical Social Work (DSW) and Master’s in Social Work (MSW) from New York University, and my Bachelor’s of Science in Social Work (BSW) from Cornell University. With more than two decades of clinical experience across inpatient, outpatient, and residential settings.

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.

As a licensed psychologist, I have a strong background in providing care across the life span, with expertise in areas such as child and adolescent psychology, eating disorders, issues among men and boys, identity - based issues, as well as family and couples.

Hey there! I hope you will not hang out with me for a long time. I am here to evaluate your challenge and suggest a way out of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and such. Therapy must be short and effective, not a drag.

I offer:

• Short-term holistic therapy. It means we look at your lifestyle and mainly: what you think, what you believe in, if you are physically active, if you eat junk, drink sodas and alcohol, if you watch junk, and how you dress. Your posture matter as well. All of these are pillars of your success for your mental health.

If you need diagnostic evals for your schools and work:

• Borderline Personality Disorder evaluations
• ADHD & Autism evaluations

If you think you are super strange and have nobody to talk to about your UFO abductions and psychic visits- you are at the right place.

I offer clinically rooted and evidence based sessions

• Support for dissociation , UFO dreams, out-of-body experiences and all that cool staff.
• ESA psychiatric evaluations for qualified NYC clients

I hold a degree in Advanced Clinical Practice from Columbia University School of Social Work and am a licensed psychotherapist in New York City.
