Dr. Valéry Fradkov

What Clients Can Expect

In my consultations, I offer guidance on interpersonal issues, relationship counseling, and psychotherapy, drawing upon my extensive background to provide a unique perspective. I focus on the role of verbal and nonverbal messages and emotions in the interpersonal communication process, aiming to create a supportive and understanding environment for my clients. For my distinguished work with teenagers and families, I have been included in the list of NJ’s Favorite Kids’ Docs. My diverse background enables me to apply a scientific approach to psychology, challenging the notion that psychological complexity is inherently distinct from other fields.

Approach to Therapy

My approach to therapy and counseling is informed by my grounding in physics and computer science, bringing a distinct perspective to the psychological field. I believe that complexity in psychology is relative to the questions posed and that by simplifying concepts, as in the hard sciences, we can gain accurate insights into human behavior and interpersonal relationships. I have developed and validated a theoretical framework that has positively impacted hundreds of lives, and I am dedicated to expanding the reach of these discoveries through the Advanced Psychology Institute. This institute combines educational facilities for training future mental health professionals, a clinical division for practical application, and a research wing for ongoing development and refinement of theories and practices, aiming to bridge the gap between hard science principles and psychological practices for a comprehensive understanding and treatment approach.
