Therapists for college students near New York University

Life is full of challenges, including relationship struggles, adjusting to life in college, and academic pressure. Any of them alone or combined can result in feelings of anxiety, depression, loneliness and anger. I strive to create a warm, supportive, non-judgmental environment where you can express your thoughts and feelings. Therapy can help you identify strategies and new ways of responding to issues that interfere with your emotional well-being—and it can help you grow with greater self-awareness. I strive to create a safe space where healing is possible. If you are interested in working with me, please contact me for a free phone consultation.

I'm Dr. Joseph Yanni, a licensed psychologist and founder of Psychological Services of New York, P.C. I work with teenagers, college students, young adults, adults, parents, and families navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, emotional regulation difficulties, school and college stress, relationship concerns, family conflict, and life transitions. I believe effective therapy begins with a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, collaboration, and understanding. Every individual brings a unique set of experiences, strengths, and challenges, so I tailor treatment to meet each person's specific needs rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. My work is guided by the Yanni Integration Approach, an integrative model that draws from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, humanistic and person-centered approaches, behavioral strategies, and lifestyle-based interventions. The goal is to provide practical, individualized care that helps clients better understand themselves, strengthen relationships, build effective coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. In addition to my own clinical work, I lead a team of dedicated mental health professionals at Psychological Services of New York, P.C. Together, we provide individualized therapy both in person at our offices in Scarsdale and Pleasantville, New York, and virtually throughout New York State.

"If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If not now, when?" -Hillel Are you struggling with anxiety or depression related to school, parenting or postpartum, employment, retirement, a relationship, family or a major life transition? Have you had difficulty managing relationships with those around you due to anxiety or depression? Maybe you have struggled with these feelings for a long period of time and you haven't figured out how to address them. Perhaps these unnerving feelings came on suddenly and you are not sure how to cope with the discomfort. I aim to help clients recognize their unhelpful negative thoughts and manage them with in-the-moment techniques. We can work to identify and tackle them together. Practical feedback often helps to normalize behaviors that are long-standing while helping one move away from shame toward acceptance. Having worked in the field of mental health for over 10 years, my expertise lies in confidence, self worth and self esteem skill building, anxiety and stress management and support with life transitions. Treatment may include but is not limited to strengths based therapy, solution focused therapy, executive functioning management, exposure therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. I tailor it to what it is that you need throughout our work together. We make things practical. *I offer in person and virtual therapy. Fees and Insurance: I am licensed to practice and accept clients from the following states: NY, PA, NJ, CT, FL, TX, IL and IN. Though I accept some NY insurance plans only, from time to time, there may be a waitlist if you choose to use insurance. I do not accept out of state insurance but can offer sliding scale if one is experiencing financial hardship. My goal is to make therapy accessible to everyone. If you use out of network benefits, I will provide you with a Superbill for reimbursement but please do check with your insurance company as each plan is different. Please reach out to discuss.

At In Pursuit Of Progress Therapy, we envision the therapeutic process as: the unfolding of one’s story in connection with an entrusted professional; often with the desire to come to know oneself on a deeper level and/or to empower a person to make vital shifts in alignment with personal growth and self-acceptance There is something to be said of the fact that change happens when the pain of staying the same outweighs the pain of change. However, while our stories will undoubtedly include painful periods of grief, disillusionment, anguish and anxiety, the complex journey that is the human experience is made up of so much more than those difficult moments. Joy, elation, curiosity and wonder are also feelings that we may observe needing just as much help to navigate. Sparks of inspiration such as exploring core beliefs, building upon prior self-discovery or learning to create a sense of safety within can also be precursors to seeking therapy. In other words, each person’s journey is their own. Our practice’s story is built around meeting the needs of our clients. Your story is yours to tell. And it is your [courageous] choice to take that vulnerable first step towards finding someone you can begin to build trust with and open up to.

My approach to therapy is rooted in anti-oppression principles. I have specialized training in trauma practice, particularly around experiences of abuse, violence, and intergenerational trauma. I draw from a variety of therapeutic techniques, including psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems/parts work, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and other relational approaches. My approach is collaborative and flexible, meaning that clients and I talk through the styles and tools we can use to best fit what they would like to work through. Much of my experience is working with people of color and queer and trans/GNC communities. My approach is warm, curious, and collaborative, fostering individuals’ ability to build resilience, joy, and power. In my practice, I welcome my clients to process things of all sizes (their traumas and their milder annoyances), explore their identities and experiences, and express a wide range of emotions. You can expect direct communication from me, reflections of what I notice about your patterns and processes, questions to deepen both of our understandings of yourself, and invitations for mutual feedback. I value autonomy and will never pressure you to share things you aren't ready to share, or simply do not want to share.

Instead, I see therapy as a collaborative process where we explore together, honor your truth, and build something meaningful in relationship. I believe healing happens when we both bring our full, authentic selves into the room. We’ll talk about heavy things, but that doesn’t mean it always has to feel heavy.
