our team

We bring together clinicians with a broad range of psychological and clinical expertise. Team members also bring different cultural backgrounds and language abilities, which helps us work with clients whose needs vary widely.

Because our work is fully remote, team members may be separated by thousands of miles – living in the United States, Canada, and Europe – while still working in close coordination and complementing one another’s expertise. Many of us wear more than one professional hat: our clinicians also teach, contribute to research, and participate in the development and validation of new clinical methods.

Through regular peer-supervision meetings and educational seminars led by our founder and clinical director, Dr. Valery Fradkov, LCSW, ScD, we develop a shared clinical culture based on Message-Centered Psychology: a common understanding of psychological processes, a shared professional language, and consistent clinical priorities.
