Thank you, Dr. Fradkov for connecting my with Michael and Nadia (for my high-schooler!)
Liked the tempo and the questions. Felt secure and taken care of. Thank you.
It is my honor to recommend dr Fradkov. His sessions are the safest place.
The appointment did not take place. I tried to contact the provider's office over the phone and reached their voice mail. Nobody returned the call. There were no instructions provided for a video call.

I highly recommend Dr. Fradkov to anyone seeking a compassionate and knowledgeable therapist. His expertise and dedication have made a significant difference in my life.
Happy to recommend Fradkov Institute to anyone who needs a caring and attentive ear. Highly recommended! I have referred clients to the Fradkov Institute of The Mind, especially Dr. Fradkov and Michael are a joy to consult with.
Thankful for Dr. Fradkov help and trust.
Dr. Fradkov helped me find my current therapist, Michael Buchman from his Fradkov Institute. I am very grateful for this. Dr. Fradkov listened to me carefully, suggested a few chnages in my daily routine and it did make a difference. then he ecommened i see Michael and I did. and I still do. Thank you, dr Fradkov.
I was dealing with the deepest depression of my life for 4 years. Strong medication helped numb my emotions but did little to truly help me. I knew I needed not only psychiatric help, but also help from a psychologist to find meaning and understanding. For several years I searched for the right therapist, someone smart and educated who understands my story. In just several sessions over two months, I began to recover and feel alive again.After a year of treatment with Dr. Fradkov, I feel like an entirely different person. I am now mastering the art of family communication, learning conversational structures, and successful strategies for almost any situation that arises. Dr. Fradkov is a true master. I cannot recommend them highly enough for anyone looking to find meaning, and purpose, and dramatically improve their mental health and relationships
So many times in my life I needed someone to talk to and get help. Dr. V. Fradkov not just helps, but he became a part of my life, my safety net. All the advice and conversations are bringing me back to life, open my eyes, and clear my vision on most of the problems that appear from nowhere and make me feel helpless. The explanations I get and the tone of his voice calm me and help me think clearly. I am lucky I found him and would highly recommend him.
I've been a patient of Dr. Valery Fradkov for several years now, and his exceptional background, empathy, and insight have consistently drawn me back. He initially helped me with my initial concerns, but as new life challenges arose, Dr. Fradkov continued to provide invaluable assistance. To me, he's not just a therapist, but also a coach, a cheerleader, and a mentor. I am deeply grateful for everything Dr. Fradkov has done for me during these past few years.
I was looking for someone who could help me with my "grey zone" health issue that seems to be psychosomatic. When I lose my temper, which, unfortunately, happens a lot, my condition immediately worsens. Dr Fradkov is teaching me how to curb my negative emotions, how to not be judgmental towards myself and others. He was helping me to cope with my grief after my father passed away. His personal approach, kindness and compassion means a lot! He is also instructing me how to overcome various family problems, if not by resolving them, then by way of changing my attitude towards them. Throughout the years that I've been his patient, Valery has become a real friend. Because of his intelligence, knowledge in different fields, wisdom based, among other things, on his life experience and professionalism, he can find the best solutions to different problems. I highly recommend him as a great psychologist!
I had the privilege of working with Dr. Valery Fradkov as my long-term therapist, and my experience with him has been truly transformative. From our very first session, it was evident that Dr. Fradkov possessed a rare combination of intelligence, empathy, and genuine dedication to helping others. From the moment I stepped into his office, I felt a genuine and safe space to share my deepest thoughts and emotions. Dr. Fradkov possesses an innate ability to connect with his clients on a deeply human level, allowing him to grasp the essence of their experiences. Throughout our sessions, Dr. Fradkov consistently demonstrated his unwavering commitment to helping me overcome my challenges. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Valery Fradkov and his exceptional therapeutic services to anyone seeking a compassionate and knowledgeable. His unwavering support and guidance have been instrumental in my own growth, and I am confident that he can make a profound impact on others as well.
Valery is the real deal! His approach and patience only overtaken by his genuine care to help, no just the patient but the whole family. He is a successful polymath who is immediately can relate to prolems while helping to refocus on what really matters , and help driving making some of those not so obvious connections. He was abe to conne to our gifted and seriously misunderstood daughter to become a thriving middle school student and us to become less frustrated parents. Worth every minutes of interactions, teaching us tools and techniques, what we can apply every aspect of life from family to work environment.
Excellent therapist and counselor. He has helped me so much His view is unique - while we talk about past, about family, etc, he is really precise and future-oriented. Just one conversation with him resolved problems with my boss. If I had an issue w/ my girlfriend, just reviewing it with him allowed me to precisely understand the mismatch in expectations and resolve conflict without yelling. We were also able to get into some of my deeper issues, as well. I hope many more people see him.
Dr. Fradkov has had an immensely positive impact on my life. His guidance has not only taught me a great deal but also improved my communication skills, leading to profound personal changes. I highly recommend Valery for anyone seeking a transformative therapeutic journey. His expertise and compassion make every session something to look forward to.
He's very experience and provides very wise advises. He's a great listener and understanding. He accommodates times to schedule very well and offers a lot of help and support.
Valery is extremely intelligent and is great at problem-solving. I have only seen him four or five times so far. But I have already benefited quite a lot.
