Whatever life issue brings you here, it rarely comes in isolation. More often than not, it is intertwined with the everyday pressures of work, health, family, or love.
When you need help with more than one challenge, we bring together the right combination of expertise from our team members and affiliated experts. Depending on your needs, this may include psychotherapy, counseling, medication management, life and health coaching, relationship and parenting consultations, interview training, job-search assistance, or access to legal and other specialized support.
Our clinical work is guided by Message-Centered Psychology, the framework developed by our founder, Valery Fradkov, LCSW, ScD. We tailor treatment to your unique needs, combining MCP-informed techniques with other established therapeutic methods – CBT, PCT, SFBT, IFS, EFT, EMDR, existential and Gestalt, among others.
Our Education Department serves clinicians at every stage – those building their qualifications through supervised practice, and licensed professionals advancing through continuing education.
If you are at the start of your clinical career and need supervised hours toward full clinical licensure or practicum hours as a graduate student, apply to our training and internship program. We offer supervised clinical experience with structured training in the same setting where our clinical work and research take place. You will work in close collaboration with our team and affiliated experts and have an opportunity to participate in our peer group supervision meetings, where clinicians seek advice on difficult cases, share interesting experiences, and discuss general questions of common interest.
For licensed clinicians, continuing education is both a requirement and an opportunity to grow. Among the many CE providers you can choose from, we offer what you will not find anywhere else: courses, seminars, and workshops grounded in Message-Centered Psychology – an original framework offering a new lens on the cases where established methods reach their limits. Our interactive programs respond to the questions and experiences clinicians bring from their own practice. Our CE courses are approved in all 50 states, including New York.
If you are a graduate student preparing for a career as a counselor or therapist, join our internship program. Under the supervision of one of our qualified clinicians, you will gain hands-on clinical experience by practicing therapy across a number of established modalities – CBT, PCT, SFBT, IFS, EFT, EMDR, among others. In addition, you will be introduced to Message-Centered Psychology (MCP), the Institute’s own framework.
If you need to work under supervision toward your clinical license and are open to learning new ideas, join our team. Our clinicians receive individual and group supervision, along with free continuing education courses. You will also be trained in Message-Centered Psychology, the Institute’s own framework, which has proven its clinical value and is part of our daily practice.
As a continuing education provider approved in all 50 states, including New York, we offer live and prerecorded online courses and in-person workshops for mental health professionals. Grounded in Message-Centered Psychology, our programs bring a new lens to the challenges where established methods reach their limits.
At Advanced Psychology Institute, research is not a separate branch. Our clinical and educational activities are organized around the discoveries of Message-Centered Psychology (MCP) and its clinical implications that have proven their value in practice. MCP research is the cornerstone on which the Institute is built, with the purpose of applying MCP to treating clients, disseminating knowledge through education, and furthering its development through research. This relationship works in both directions: our findings shape our treatments and our courses, and the questions our clinicians and trainees bring from their practice inspire new research.
There are two directions to our research: clinical and non-clinical, conducted in collaboration with university research groups. Our clinical research develops new MCP-based treatments for behavioral addiction, emotional dysregulation, personality disorders, and neurodevelopmental conditions, among others.
Our non-clinical research studies how the healthy mind works – communication, decision-making, learning, problem-solving, and social interaction. A clear understanding of healthy functioning gives us the comparative baseline for understanding pathology.
Clinical care is the main reason Advanced Psychology Institute exists. We help clients address emotional distress, mood disorders, neurodiversity, relationship difficulties, behavioral patterns, trauma-related symptoms, personality disorders, learning disabilities, behavioral addiction, and other clinical conditions.
Our unique clinical approach is grounded in Message-Centered Psychology (MCP), a comprehensive framework developed by our founder, Dr. Valery Fradkov, LCSW, ScD. To address our clients’ clinical issues, we combine MCP-informed interventions with a variety of established therapeutic methods.
Our Research Department is divided into two divisions: Clinical Research and Non-Clinical Research.
The Clinical Research Division, in collaboration with university research groups, conducts studies and develops new MCP-based treatments for conditions such as behavioral addiction, dyslexia and autism spectrum disorders, emotional dysregulation, and personality disorders.
The Non-Clinical Research Division focuses on understanding normal brain functions, including communication, decision-making, learning, problem-solving, and social interaction. A clear understanding of how a healthy mind works gives us the comparative baseline for understanding pathology.
Our Education Department translates decades of theoretical and clinical research into practical learning opportunities for mental health professionals. Grounded in the principles of Message-Centered Psychology, our programs bridge research, training, and clinical practice through hands-on education, supervision, and professional development.
Graduate students preparing for careers as counselors and therapists gain real-world clinical experience through structured internship opportunities. Interns receive mentorship, training, and exposure to Message-Centered Psychology while developing the skills needed for professional practice.
We provide supervised clinical training for provisionally licensed clinicians working toward full licensure. Through ongoing guidance, case consultation, and professional development, clinicians strengthen their therapeutic skills while integrating research-informed approaches into their work.
As a continuing education provider certified in all U.S. states, including New York, we offer online, in-person, and on-demand courses for mental health professionals. Our CE programs help practitioners expand their knowledge, deepen clinical understanding, and stay current with evolving best practices.
At Advanced Psychology Institute, our clinicians and affiliated experts work together across disciplines to understand each client’s situation from multiple perspectives. We look beyond symptoms to identify the underlying factors that may contribute to distress, including clinical concerns as well as personal, relational, professional, and everyday life stressors that shape psychological well-being.
When a client needs support in more than one area, we bring together the right combination of specialists. Depending on the client’s needs, this may include psychotherapy, counseling, medication management, life and health coaching, relationship and parenting consultations, interview training, job-search assistance, and access to legal or other specialized support.
Collaboration extends beyond clinical care. The Institute’s clinical, educational, and research branches work in ongoing coordination, with each supporting and strengthening the others. Many of our clinicians also serve as researchers, educators, and supervisors. This integration allows the Institute to keep developing new ideas while assessing their practical value in clinical and educational settings.
