Instructor Profile:  Dr. Robert Cox

Originally trained as a neurophysiologist, Dr. Cox received ministerial training and then completed his doctoral work in psychology. Wearing "three hats," he brings a breadth of understanding and sensitivity to his work, naturally integrating concern for body, mind, and spirit. In an intentional collaborative relationship, Dr. Cox works with persons to accept pleasure and pain, fear and joy, and all aspects of life with increasing equanimity and balance, encouraging active participation of persons in their own adaptation and change. He is an experienced, ethical, and humane practitioner, licensed as a psychologist and an accredited Fellow in the American Association of Pastoral Counselors. He maintains a private practice as a psychologist in Portsmouth, New Hampshire and offers MSR programs. He originally trained in Mindfulness Stress Reduction at the Center for Mindfulness at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center and has also developed skills in offering Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Relapse Prevention of Depression, as well as skills in offering Interpersonal Mindfulness training. Dr. Cox is a longtime practitioner of mindfulness, having developed a consistent practice to cope with chronic pain.
