Howard R. Fradkin

As a gay and lgbt-affirmative Psychologist, I provide individual, group and couples psychotherapy for a variety of clients. I specialize in working with gay and bisexual men and women who are dealing with issues of sexual identity confusion, self-esteem, developing a positive bisexual and/or lesbian or gay identity; depression and anxiety; marital problems and marital-decision making around sexuality issues; substance abuse and addictions; sexual addiction; and recovering from childhood and/or adult sexual victimization experiences, including covert and overt incest, sexual assault and rape. I serve adults from ages 18-70.

I believe that the sexual orientation of a person is their decision only, and it is my desire as a Psychologist to help people to feel comfortable and to affirm and celebrate the sexual/emotional/physical and spiritual connections they choose to make with the men and women in their lives. I am the Chairperson of the Ohio Psychological Associations Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered Task Force for the past 2 years, since its beginning.
