Services
As someone dedicated to improving the capabilities of children, strengthening schools and spurring change in social policy, Dr. Cox has given presentations for thousands of professionals in the U.S. and abroad. Information about specific workshop topics may help you decide whether Dr. Cox can be of service to your group or school.
Due to the specialized nature of my clinical work and writing, I am sometimes invited to assist schools, professional groups and communities with projects that support the positive development of youth. If your institution has an interest in a collaborative project, please feel free to discuss options with me.
There is a deep chasm between what is known, and still being discovered, in psychology, neurology, and psychiatry, and the people who can most benefit from this important information: those who care deeply for the healthy development of children. Unfortunately, there may be a 10-20 year lag time between research discoveries and the practical application of this knowledge in the classroom or clinic.

The environment was calm relaxing and inviting. I so appreciate Dr. Cox effort and time put in with me. He gave me the confidence and reality to move forward in my education and my career as a nurse. Thank you for being a support in the community. Your time and efforts make a difference in my life in so many people that you have touched. Thank you Dr. Adam Cox.

There are better psychologists out there, if you’re able to, shop around. Too many things wrong to go into detail. In short, meeting with this man is a formality. There is no real concern exhibited on his end. He’ll make you wait a few minutes to be seen sometimes (which isn’t a big deal) but will cut you off in the middle of your sentence if you run 2 seconds over the time allotted. The place does smell odd too, like a wet dog as another review I read stated. I promise you there are more esteemed psychologists out there.

I have never met a person so rude in my life. My mother came with me so she could help explain somethings he rudly told her he was the doctor he makes the rules and wouldn't let her in the room. I then told him i would leave, he then told her in exact words "if you keep your mouth shut you can come in the room" i was disgusted by the smell of the office as well it smelled like cat pee and wet dog. On a better note his secretary is very nice to bad ahe isn't the doctor
