As a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), my work is rooted in a simple but deeply held belief: every person deserves a space where they feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, stress, or a significant life transition, or simply taking steps toward personal growth, I'm here to walk alongside you. Working with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, my approach is grounded in the power of human resilience. Together, we explore patterns, build greater self-understanding, and move toward meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help you discover your strengths, develop effective strategies, and take real steps toward a happier, healthier version of yourself. A patient-centered approach is at the heart of everything I do. This means encouraging you to take an active role in shaping your therapeutic space and identifying goals that feel meaningful and relevant to your life. From there, we build on your existing strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and work toward your personal goals with confidence and resilience. My style is adaptable by design, ensuring you feel understood, supported, and empowered in a way that honors your unique personality and needs. For younger patients and those who may not yet have the words to express what they're feeling, I draw on play therapy and expressive arts therapy to create room for communication and processing that feels natural and comfortable. For older adolescents and adults, I integrate Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness techniques into a flexible, personalized approach. Through my own experiences of learning to find my voice, build confidence, and advocate for myself, I came to understand firsthand how transformative it can be to feel truly seen and supported. That foundation shapes everything about how I show up for patients today. To every session, I bring empathy, genuine curiosity, and a deep belief in each person's unique capacity to heal, adapt, and grow. You won't find a one-size-fits-all approach here. What you will find is a therapist who is fully invested in you and committed to creating an environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to do the work that matters most. When I'm not in the therapy room, you can find me reading, working through the New York Times games, or spending time with friends and family. Music is a big part of my life, whether that means discovering new artists, catching live concerts, or experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with Diagnostic Privilege (LMHC-D) and six years of experience, I specialize in anxiety, depression, mood disorders, life transitions, sports and performance, personal growth, self-esteem, trauma, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, and substance misuse. I work with adolescents, teens, and young adults navigating mental health concerns and the challenges that come with this season of life. No matter your struggles, I believe in creating a safe, collaborative, and nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship, one grounded in the recognition that every person carries their own unique strengths and capacity for growth. That belief shapes how I show up for you: as a compassionate, empowering, and supportive partner. Together, we'll build confidence and resilience, achieve meaningful goals, and develop the skills you need to cultivate greater well-being and fulfillment, both personally and professionally. My approach is patient-centered, collaborative, and authentically tailored to you. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, trauma-informed care, and strength-based therapy to create a space where you can explore challenges, recognize your inherent strengths, enhance self-awareness, and build the resilience needed for meaningful, lasting change. Every person I work with brings their own unique needs, experiences, and goals — and the direction of our work reflects that. Whether you're working toward personal, academic, professional, or performance goals, I tailor my style accordingly, in a safe and empowering environment grounded in a genuine belief in your ability to grow. My path to becoming a therapist began with my own experience in therapy during high school, when I had an incredible therapist who helped me grow, develop greater self-awareness, and navigate challenges. The impact of that work rippled across many areas of my life. Through those personal experiences, and through watching the effect mental health had on friends and family members, I came to understand how truly transformative therapy can be. That understanding deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, patient-centered care that empowers individuals to overcome obstacles, build resilience, and create meaningful change. Now, I bring authenticity, empathy, and a genuine belief in each person's capacity for growth to every session. When I'm not in session, I enjoy reading, baking, crafting, and cooking. I also love going to concerts and sporting events, traveling, and spending time with friends, family, and my niece and nephew.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and older adults navigating relationship and family conflict, emotional regulation, ADHD, life transitions, and the weight of stress, OCD, anxiety, and depression. Meaningful change, I believe, begins with understanding ourselves and our relationships. That belief shapes everything about how I work with you — as an empathetic supporter who is committed to empowering your healing. Together, we'll work toward greater clarity, stronger connections, and the tools you need to face life's challenges with confidence and resilience. Integrity, alongside a systemic and relational lens, are the core of how I practice. I'm passionate about creating a safe, open environment, one where healing, growth, and the rediscovery of self are not only possible but celebrated. Every person who chooses this path deserves to have their courage honored, and that's something I carry into every session. To support your healing and growth, I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), play therapy, relational life therapy, and structural family therapy. My style is compassionate and collaborative, and tailored to each individual, couple, and family. Whether the work is about gaining insight into relational patterns, developing effective coping strategies, or building on your existing strengths, the goal is always to help you feel empowered to achieve meaningful change. My path to becoming a therapist began with a deep curiosity about human relationships and the ways people heal through connection. Witnessing the resilience of people navigating difficult life transitions deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, personalized care, the kind that recognizes the unique challenges each person faces. Authenticity matters to me, and so does meeting you where you are. I bring humor when it's appropriate and a down-to-earth approach to each session, so you can feel comfortable as we work together toward your goals. Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy getting lost in a good book, taking time for self-care, trying new coffee shops and crafts, spending time with loved ones, and finding opportunities for relaxation and reflection.

Are you living with debilitating anxiety, depression, post-partum blues, or struggling with the burden of past traumas? Did the COVID-19 pandemic amplify all of these feelings within you? I am confident that I can help. The decision to begin therapy is often made during difficult or complicated times. Through my extensive experience, I know change is possible. I love being a psychotherapist and have a supportive but focused approach. I limit my caseload so that each client receives personalized care. My specialty is working with people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, work/life stress, peripartum to postpartum mood/anxiety, and phase of life changes. I will offer you a comfortable space to look within yourself and recognize your strengths, develop confidence, and feel more aligned in day-to-day life. We can start with a short phone consultation, to assess if we are a good fit for each other. I will answer all inquiries the same day. Our work together will be collaborative, and through this, I hope to help you create long-lasting change. I look forward to helping you discover a better version of yourself.

Healing is rarely a straight path, and having the right support can make all the difference. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, my work centers on helping children, adolescents, and adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or struggling to put your feelings into words, you don't have to figure it out alone. For younger patients, those challenges often show up through behavior or difficulty managing emotions, and that's where play therapy can be a powerful tool for expression and growth. For patients of all ages, the goal is the same: to help you better understand yourself, build healthier coping skills, and improve how you feel day to day and in your relationships. My commitment is to meet you exactly where you are. As a supportive and collaborative partner in your healing journey, I look forward to helping you or your child build resilience, gain insight, and create positive, lasting change. Compassionate, collaborative, and goal-oriented care is at the heart of every session. Creating a space where you feel genuinely safe, heard, and free from judgment is something I'm deeply passionate about, because real growth starts when you feel truly supported. Sessions are shaped by your unique needs, experiences, and goals. Using evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and play therapy techniques, we'll work together to process emotions, develop effective coping strategies, and foster lasting well-being. My style is warm and engaging, and each session is thoughtfully tailored to honor the developmental and emotional needs of every person I work with. My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by a deep and genuine desire to help others feel understood and supported during some of life's most difficult moments. Through clinical work with children and individuals navigating trauma, that commitment has only grown stronger. Every session, I bring empathy, patience, and authenticity into the room. These qualities aren't just professional values; they're the foundation of the meaningful therapeutic connections I strive to build with each person I have the privilege of working with. When I’m not working, I value time with family and friends. I also enjoy music, traveling, and being in nature, as these experiences help me recharge and bring balance to my life.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. As a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. My work is grounded in a humanistic perspective and informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), helping you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and the patterns that shape your life. I work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, family conflict, life transitions, and low self-esteem. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed by the expectations they place on themselves, struggle to set healthy boundaries, or find themselves stuck in relationship patterns that leave them feeling emotionally drained. My goal is to help you discover your strengths, develop effective strategies, and take real steps toward a happier, healthier version of yourself. I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely heard and accepted. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs and goals. Drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), humanistic therapy, and strengths-based approaches, we’ll work together to better understand your emotions, build healthier relationships, strengthen self-confidence, and develop practical tools to help you navigate everyday challenges. Whether you’re processing difficult experiences, working through anxiety, improving communication, or simply trying to reconnect with yourself, my goal is to help you feel supported every step of the way. My passion for therapy grew from my own experiences navigating relationships, personal growth, and the unique challenges of growing up as a first-generation American. Those experiences taught me how important it is to feel understood and supported, especially during life’s most difficult moments. They continue to shape the empathy and curiosity I bring into each session. I believe therapy is about creating a space where you can better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and make changes that feel authentic and lasting. Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy staying active through weightlifting, having previously trained in powerlifting. I also enjoy crocheting and making handmade items like beanies, scarves, and clothing, which gives me a creative outlet and helps me recharge. When I’m not crafting or at the gym, you’ll often find me at live music events, especially rock concerts and Spanish alternative shows.

As a licensed mental health counselor with eight years of experience, I specialize in emotion regulation and interpersonal challenges for children, adolescents, and adults. Whether you're struggling to name what you're feeling, finding it hard to communicate your emotions to the people around you, or simply looking for steadier ground, I'm here to help you work through it. Authenticity and tactfulness aren't opposites to me; they're the combination that makes real therapeutic work possible. You can expect me to be warm and supportive, and also direct. Together, we'll get to what matters. Authenticity is at the core of how I work. Using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), integrative, and person-centered techniques, I create a warm, safe, and supportive space where you can be straightforward about what you're struggling with and express your emotions in a healthy way — because that honesty is where real progress begins. From there, we work together to identify and address any parts of your stressors that are within your power to change and what may need to be accepted. Every person communicates and connects differently, so I tailor my approach to fit your unique needs, ensuring our work together feels relevant, grounded, and genuinely yours. My own experiences in therapy as a teenager sparked an early curiosity about psychology, one that I've been following ever since. That lived experience shaped my deep commitment to creating a warm, authentic space where patients feel genuinely seen and supported. I bring that history and intention into my work, staying mindful of how my own perspective informs my approach and ensuring it best serves you in every session we share. When I'm not in session, you'll find me hiking, painting, or singing. I have a wide-ranging taste in music and a genuine love for live performance art. These creative and outdoor pursuits keep me connected to the kind of presence and expression I also value in my work with you.

Calling all anxious folks struggling with frequent worries, "what if" thoughts, intrusive thoughts or images, or feeling like you are always trying to manage or control your anxiety: relief is possible! I specialize in working with college students with generalized anxiety, social anxiety, perfectionism, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic attacks, procrastination, and high-pressure academic or occupational environments. My guess is that if you struggle with these, you have been working VERY hard to feel better. I would love to work with you to develop new, evidence-backed strategies to respond to your anxiety and find relief. I believe in a therapeutic relationship that is safe, affirming, and collaborative. Together, we will focus on your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to identify areas to intervene, learn skills, and find relief from anxiety. I approach clients with curiosity, flexibility, and acceptance- and I will encourage you to approach yourself the same way.

I’m Miki Hara, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience helping young adults navigate anxiety, depression, PTSD, and identity-related challenges—including LGBTQIA+ and women’s issues. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based therapies like IFS, EMDR, CBT, DBT. I work to create a trusting, inclusive space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to make meaningful change.

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.

Feeling overwhelmed by daily life and the weight of responsibilities and stress can be tough. Sometimes, we wonder if our emotions and feelings are just a part of typical life transitions. Let’s talk about it. Asking for help is the first step to finding a better place. It’s a journey to rediscover your values and take steps towards what truly matters to you. I believe therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach, but rather a personalized path to finding what works best for each individual. We’ll work together, and maybe even have some fun along the way. In getting to know each other, we will explore your values and goals and use strengths-based therapy, solution focused brief therapy, CBT, ACT and other approaches to best meet your needs. We will identify themes and thought patterns that impact your everyday life, and together we will explore techniques that work for you. I’m here to help with anxiety, depression, college transitions, perimenopause, grief and other challenges. I genuinely care about helping people and work with strengths-based and solution-focused approaches. We’ll build a therapeutic relationship based on mutual respect. Let’s work together to get you there!

Do you find yourself stressed and overwhelmed with ruminating thoughts, no matter what you do? You’re a perfectionist who’s always striving to be perfect, saying ‘yes’ to everyone but yourself. The self-criticism never seems to stop, and the fear of failing keeps you stuck. Maybe you don’t even remember a time when things felt different—but you do know one thing: you’re ready for relief. You’re ready to quiet the self-doubt and take back control of your thoughts. You want to understand yourself on a deeper level, find joy in the present, and start living life for you—not just for others. Let’s work together to make that happen. I help clients build self-compassion, confidence, and lasting change. If you're struggling with self-doubt, anxiety, or feeling stuck, we’ll work together to strengthen your coping skills and deepen your self-understanding. I’ll show up as a real person—supportive, honest, and ready to challenge you when needed—because your growth truly matters. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I see how exhausting it is to battle self-doubt and anxiety every day. Together, we can create a path toward relief, confidence, and joy. If you're ready for a new way forward, I invite you to reach out by email or phone call. Let’s take the first step toward healing—one that feels right for you.

I am an Asian American therapist with over 10 years of experience working with undergraduate and graduate students, traditional and non-traditional. My aim as a therapist is to offer my clients a space where they can take the time from their otherwise hectic schedules to pause and be curious about their feelings, behaviors, and reactions. Often we can feel like we are moving from one task to another and before long, we lose touch with why we started on the path we are on in the first place. In therapy, one can reconnect with the parts of themselves needed to feel balanced and thrive. I also strongly believe that the relationship between therapist and client is key for one to be able to explore, reflect, and ultimately heal. As such, I prioritize in creating a safe, supportive space where we may work together to better understand your unique experiences.

As a former student-athlete, I understand how tough it can be to balance everything, whether it is school, sports or just life in general. That’s why I’m passionate about supporting young adults and the LGBTQ+ community who are dealing with anxiety, depression, or going through major life transitions. Being an athlete showed me how important it is to have a good support system, and I want to be that supportive presence for my clients as they work through their own challenges. I aim to create a nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. I use a blend of evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients better understand and manage their thoughts and emotions. Using expressive and mindfulness-based practices, we will tap into your creativity, self-expression, and find your own inner calm. My mission as a therapist is to meet each person with empathy and compassion, making sure to support their unique story while helping them discover their inner strength and potential. I’m here to help you navigate what’s hard, celebrate what’s working, and discover what’s possible. I want therapy to feel like a safe, welcoming space where you can be yourself and figure things out at your own pace. Therapy with me is a team effort and you're never alone in the process.
