I am a Harvard-trained clinical psychologist who completed his PsyD at Roberts Wesleyan University in 2024. After graduating with my doctorate I went on to train in psychodynamic psychotherapy at Cambridge Health Alliance's Program for Psychotherapy and Harvard Medical School. I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, internal conflicts, and social & relational concerns like transgender and LGBTQIA+ issues.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and trained Psychoanalyst. I earned my Masters of Science in Social Work from Columbia University in 2009 and my certificate in Psychoanalysis from NPAP (National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis) in 2021. I work over Zoom and in person in the Gramercy area of Manhattan.

My work and training have provided me with a deep understanding of complex family and relationship dynamics. I provide a working environment that is calm, empathetic, open-minded, and non-judgmental. I am a parent, pet owner and classical musician.

Are you living the life you want? Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, or depressed? This is the first step in the right direction towards positive change. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Doctor of Social Work (DSW) who is dedicated to supporting others who are challenged with life stressors, life transitions, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and relational concerns.

I am a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with more than 10 years of experience caring for adult patients across a variety of healthcare settings. Throughout my career in adult primary care, I developed a deep appreciation for the emotional and mental health challenges that often accompany physical illness, major life changes, and everyday stressors. This inspired me to pursue a second specialty certification in psychiatric mental health.

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.
