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.

Clinical team collaboration and professional development

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.

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.
