| Introduction: | Welcome to the Psychological Consulting and Therapy. We can help you to regain your psychological equilibrium, improve understanding between you and those important to you, and avoid unnecessary conflicts and confrontations - the major sources of psychological distress. Most our clients are concerned with their relationships - with family members, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and even strangers. We offer individual, couple, and family counseling, pre-marriage counseling and counseling on relationship closure - an important albeit rarely offered service. We also provide divorce mediation and counseling. For clients with clinical issues such as burnouts, depression, anxiety, abuse and trauma, fears, anger and self-control, personality disorders, and other conditions, we offer individual and group psychotherapy. For job seekers in that hard economical climate, we offer couseling and training in interview skills and other psychological aspects of finding and keeping a job based on our extensive experience with both interviewing and being interviewed. We will help you deliver, fully and clearly, the right messages about yourself in your resume, at job interviews, and in other situations where the first impression is critical. Our clinical services are covered by private health insurance carriers (as an Out-of-Network provider) and by Medicare. Currently, we are not on any managed care network panel. If you are not sure whether your insurance covers our services, please don't hesitate to call us at 201-497-0069 or email at therapy@fradkov.com and we will check your benefits for you. To be able to do that, we will need your full name, date of birth, name of insurance company, the toll-free number on the back of your card, and your member ID number. Alternatively, please call your insurance (the number must be on the back of your card) and ask how they cover the out-of-network mental health services. |

I have been seeing Dr. Fradkov for about two years. He has been one of the most helpful and influential people in my life. I came to him as an angry, shy and lost sixteen year old. I didn't know what was up, down, or sideways. He has been there for me while my mother was sick and passed away, when I struggled in school and when I didn't know how to deal with my peers. Now, even 9 months after my mother has passed, I am going off to college with a great outlook on life and already am making friends, meeting girls and doing well in school. I do not think I would be in such a state of mind even after such a tragedy without his guidance.
His style in the office is one that I have never experienced before. He lets me talk about whatever comes to mind, and then restates what he thinks he "heard" me say in his own words. This practice allows for analyzing what may be at the root of the situation or the behavior that I dislike or am interested in finding out more about. He is not suggestive at all which really allows for a free exchange. He is highly intelligent and yet never preaches or talks down to me. He has given me his advice when I ask for it on a range of topics unrelated to matters of emotion or the mind. He also has unconditional positive regard for me, whether I tell him about a girl I was with, drugs that I used or about the Spanish gentleman I had a nice conversation with at the Eagles game, he will sit in the chair across from me, looking into my eyes and intently listening for hours.
I feel very comfortable with him and leave nothing out. This is not to say he just listens and doesn't respond. It's that he guides my own self exploration, and helps ME solve MY problems, which is the most effective way.
Despite his busy schedule, he always found time for me when I needed to talk. Often I am out of town, we "meet" with a video session over Skype.
I have come in to the office with my father and my stepmother and he is able to facilitate talks that have uncorked many years of bottled emotions for all of us. Although none of us like it, we all walk out with hugs and handshakes feeling relieved.
After leaving his office, I always feel much more free and enlightened than when I stepped in. He really is a professional guy, knows his stuff through and through and really does make your hour valuable time.
I highly recommend him with any issue, because somebody that will ACTUALLY listen to you and care, with unconditional positive regard, is worth your time.
