Charles Cox, LCSW
About me
I am certified by the NYS office of professions as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. As part of my license requirements I have completed over 3000 hours of counseling and therapy, more that 100 hours of clinical supervision and passed the NYS competence exam to receive my license as a LCSW. I have worked in the Social Work Field since September 1999. I was fortunate to learn at an early age that I wanted to become a Social Worker and received my undergraduate degree in the field of Social Work. I obtained my Master's degree from Stony Brook University in May of 2008.
Change can be difficulty and often we may feel stuck in a cycle or comfort zone. But recognizing the need for change is the first step towards fulfilling your goals. Whether the change is to improve your relationships, career, financial circumstance, self-defeating behaviors or how you cope with life stressors and challenges, I will be here to assist you in reaching your goals.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with over 16 years of experience, I offer a unique perspective on counseling and therapy. My primary goal is helping people progress through life stages one goal at a time. I obtained a certification for Financial Social Work Therapy and a Certified Anger Management Specialist (Registered with the National Anger Management Association) in 2014. I am also approved NYS OASAS approved DWI Screening and Assessment Provider. I feel passionate about my profession and with the education and years of experience I feel confident in being able to provide quality therapeutic services to address a multitude of needs identified during the intake process.
As a Certified Financial Social Worker, I use an interactive behavior model to assist my clients in better understanding their financial behavior, where it stems from and how to improve their self-awareness and ultimately their financial situation. I offer flexible hours & I look forward to working with you!
