Dr. Greg Cox
Dr. Greg Cox has practiced psychology for more than 35 years, with approximately two-thirds of his work devoted to clinical practice and one-third dedicated to court-related matters. He began his career in rural Georgia, where the breadth of cases he encountered gave him wide-ranging experience in the forensic realm. Three years ago, he relocated to Portland, Oregon, and currently practices with Behavioral Neuropsychology, LLC.
His areas of specialty include evaluation and testimony in civil cases, neuropsychological assessment, and the study of interpersonal process, particularly as it relates to helping individuals find their personal influence and power.
He went to Manhattan immediately post 9/11 to do psychological trauma intervention, and worked in the Georgia Department of Corrections for five and a half years as a Clinical Director for Mental Health in a maximum security prison. He has seen personal crisis up close.
Dr. Cox describes himself as deeply fascinated by the uniqueness of each human life. He notes that many people carry theories of who they “should” be—smarter, thinner, richer, or more accomplished—but he is most intrigued by the actual life each individual has lived. For him, the lived life itself carries a profound and precious power, one that reveals who a person genuinely is and the possibilities available in their future.
