I work with people who are stuck at certain crossroads in their life. Typically, the external problems seem to solve themselves once therapy reaches a certain point. This applies to work, relationships, life goals, and creative pursuits. My job is to help you transform mental or physical pain into something that is bearable and makes life worth living.
I work with a wide range of clients.
I welcome any questions you have. Feel free to give me a call or email with any questions you have about starting therapy.
I believe the potential for healing is inherently human - and incredibly accessible. My goal is to partner with you in looking at your Life-Story and to identify and evolve past wounds or challenges holding you back from a peaceful way of being. I've been practicing for over 20 years and specialize in anxiety, depression and trauma.

I have worked with individuals, families, and groups of all ages, supporting clients through concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, identity exploration, and life transitions.
Hello — I’m Dr. Nikkah, a licensed clinical psychologist based in New York City with over 20 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate interpersonal relationships and personal conflicts. I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues or life transitions. My therapeutic style is eclectic, as I have training in a multitude of therapeutic modalities, e.g. CBT, psychodynamic therapy, solution focused etc. to best match your specific needs.
Life begins when you know who you are. But the path to self-knowledge can be fraught and hard to find. “Be yourself,” “create yourself,” “find yourself”–these are some of the injunctions that might waylay any earnest seeker. When we learn to sit with the uncomfortable parts of self–the parts that make us want to crawl out of our skin–revelation can occur.
Talk therapy can be a place to learn how to be interested in ourselves and in our past. When we learn to love ourselves the way we wish to be loved, our relationships can flourish. We can deepen our genuine interest in others. When it works, psychotherapy can inspire incredible capacity and resolve to bend towards the future and embrace change
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.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychoanalyst in the Flatiron District of New York who specializes in anxiety, depression, life transitions, complex trauma, women's issues, and LGBTQIA+ concerns. I enjoy working with adults of all ages who seek to understand and overcome self-defeating patterns, access inner resources and strengths, and connect to a deeper sense of self.
I have over 10 years of experience working with individuals who are struggling to find their way in a complicated world. My practice offers a space for anyone who is looking for a sense of shelter and refuge where they can breathe, process their thoughts and feelings and find meaning in their life. I believe that everyone has the capacity to change and develop internal strength and resilience. It is my goal to empower those who are seeking new ways of looking at themselves and their relationships. Talk therapy has the ability to soothe our hearts and minds. More than ever, we need to find ways to reprogram our fear-driven minds.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Wantagh, NY
Searching for therapists in Wantagh starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or experience with couples and families. A therapist’s profile can help you understand what they focus on and what sessions may be like.
In a smaller Long Island community like Wantagh, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger nearby areas. Virtual appointments can expand your search across Nassau County and New York, while in-person care may be a good fit if you prefer an office close to home, work, or school. When narrowing your options, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and session structure.
Therapy in Wantagh can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway makes it easier to find licensed therapists who may accept a wide range of insurance plans, may offer virtual or in-person appointments, and may be accepting new clients. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
