I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, based in New York. I know that reaching out for support takes courage, and I'm here to help you feel safe, understood, and supported. I've spent the past eight years working with adults navigating trauma, sexual addiction and related behaviors, anxiety, and depression.
Hi! I am a Dual board-certified Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP‐BC, FNP‐BC) and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) dedicated to delivering integrated, evidence-based patient care. Experienced in psychiatry: evaluation and medication management, addiction medicine, and primary care management across inpatient, outpatient, and telehealth settings. Recognized for collaborative leadership, patient advocacy, and commitment to improving community mental health outcomes through compassionate, high-quality care.I have experience working with adolescents and adults in multiple settings facing various complex mental health issues, including ADHD, trauma, Schizophrenia, anxiety, insomnia, and mood disorders and addiction. I am experienced in medication assisted treatment ( MAT).
I implement a strengths-based perspective methodology. This means I take a holistic and individualistic approach by working through your personal history, environment, lifestyle, and spirituality. Your past is not indicative of your future. Everyone has a personal story that needs to be heard; therefore, I hope to build a partnership that's rooted in a judgment-free environment.
I am a board- certified psychiatric nurse practitioner committed to compassionate, ethical, and individualized mental health care.
People say I'm easy to talk to. Here's a little bit about me. I received my graduate degree from NYU and have completed extensive post-graduate training in the treatment of mental health and addiction disorders. Why work with me? I'm a seasoned clinician who has supervised graduate-level Psychology and Mental Health Counseling students from Universities on Long Island and NYC. I'm passionate about the work we'll do together and am excited to join you on your journey.
I'm a licensed mental health counselor with a doctorate in psychology and 20 years of experience working with adults and seniors, including people navigating ADHD, trauma, grief, mood disorders, and major life transitions. My approach is faith-informed: I integrate a Christian worldview into my clinical work for clients who want that, and I offer a secular, evidence-based framework for those who don't. Either way, I take the whole person seriously — not just the symptom. I completed brain health training through the Amen Clinic, which has meaningfully shaped how I think about ADHD and cognitive health in older adults. I'm also a published author: my 2019 book came out of doctoral research on fear, dementia, and the aging mind.

Because communication is such a vital part of effective therapy, my background in communication strongly enhances my clinical practice and the work I do with clients.
Janet “Jan” Yager is a board certified nurse practitioner with over 20 years of nursing experience in psychiatric, adult, and family health.

Find the right addiction counselor for you
Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Yonkers
Finding addiction therapists in Yonkers starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, prescription drug concerns, gambling, or other behavioral patterns. As you compare therapists, look for experience with approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, and relapse prevention. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, so it can help to choose a therapist who understands care coordination.
Yonkers has local therapy options, and nearby access to the broader New York metro area can widen your search. Virtual appointments can also expand your options if local availability, commute time, or scheduling makes in-person care harder to fit into your week. Recovery can involve changes over time, so look for a therapist who uses a nonjudgmental approach and has experience with harm reduction frameworks. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they describe their style, what addiction-related concerns they list, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking.
Therapy in Yonkers 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 care begins. Headway helps you search for addiction therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, check your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. From there, you can compare virtual and in-person options and book directly when you’re ready.
