As psychologists we often begin with a neuropsychological or psychological assessment for a detailed study of you or your child’s strengths, weaknesses, and challenges. With that information in hand, we create treatment plans, and chart paths to treatment. We know assessments are powerful interventions on their own right, but sometimes people need follow-up treatment. We pride ourselves on enhancing strengths and building habit persistence. One of our main jobs is helping you or your child get tools to compensate for learning, emotional, or behavioral barriers. We often see patients we’ve assessed, but also refer to a network of psychologists, psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, executive coaches, and more.
I’ve practiced clinical psychology in Portland since 1993. My internships and residencies focused on assessing and treating children, adolescents, and adults. My training was broadly based but grounded in neuropsychological assessment, evidence-based treatment approaches including behavioral, social learning, cognitive-behavioral, family systems, and solution focused work. I consult with all ages of people and students.
My psychology practice is pragmatic and guided by Motivational Interviewing, ACT, and combinations of other approaches. I work in a collaborative way with you and your family to help you meet your goals. We spend time clarifying what you’d like to change, what your core values are, and what beliefs or ideas create problems. We may do an assessment or psychotherapy, based on what you need. I’ve designed my practice to be personal and often available by phone for emergencies or urgent issues. Email me at dr.michael.fulop@bdtxpdx.com.
I work with students and people no longer in school. Students I work with arrive from all types of schools, colleges, and post-graduate situations. I assess learning and achievement problems and help people cope with complexities seen often with A.D.H.D. and self-regulation deficits. I often prepare documents to get students qualified for extended time on the SAT examinations. I also specialize in helping children or adults with diabetes distress and others issues from T1 or T2 diabetes.
An important facet of my practice is strength-oriented treatment and follow-up. I practice within a Motivational Interviewing adherent framework, and have been trained as a Motivational Interviewing Trainer (MINT). I’m available for treatment or consultation for a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, diabetes distress, familial conflict, behavioral issues, and parent training.

I have been practicing in Portland since 1985. I was on the primary faculty at OHSU in the Department of Medical Psychology from 1985 to 1997, first as an assistant professor and then as an associate professor. In that capacity, I headed the Child Outpatient Clinic, supervising interns and residents. I served for four years as Director of Psychological Services at Cedar Hills Hospital (a small private hospital with children and adolescent units, now closed). I started a part-time private practice in 1987 and switched to full-time private practice in 1997.
Assessment: I assess students (elementary, high school, college or graduate school) with issues that have impact on their school performance. I conduct comprehensive assessments when needed, to figure out what is going on and what to do when a student has trouble in school. I work with students from private and public schools, college, and occasionally post-graduate students. I assess learning problems and emotional and behavioral adjustment.
Follow-up/treatment: After I complete an assessment, I provide detailed recommendations to parents and students to motivate and to initiate change. I make recommendations to schools, and refer to other treatment providers, tutors/coaches, and programs when I can. I often provide follow-up or treatment myself (coaching and consultation to improve self-regulation, help with parenting, help with homework and study process, and more traditional treatment for psychological issues). I often prepare documents to get students qualified for extended time on the SAT or GRE examinations.
Greg Cox, PhD
Assessment: I assess individuals throughout the lifespan: -Children and Adolescents -Adults -Older Adults.
My goal is to provide individuals and families with clear actionable information about what difficulties they are facing and what interventions are likely to be helpful.
With children and adolescents, questions may involve ADHD, Learning problems, behavioral issues, and emotional difficulties. Parents can be much more effective when they have a clear understanding of the challenges that their child faces, and a game plan for addressing those challenges.
Adults often come to a place in life where they know that something is not right, but don’t have a good idea what the problems are. A thorough psychological evaluation can help identify such problems as ADHD, personality and emotional issues, and skills deficits that once addressed can set you free to be more powerful and effective in your life.
Older Adults can have concerns about possible dementia. Evaluation may alleviate those concerns for them and their families or may provide a clear understanding of what to expect in the future and how to prepare for it.
Forensic: Oftentimes courts may have questions about an individual that a carefully executed psychological evaluation can effectively answer. Such questions arise when individuals file personal injury suits, when there are questions of competence and need for guardianship or conservatorship, and with employment or disability questions.
Current Practice

My goal is to give individuals and families clear, actionable information about the challenges they face and the most effective interventions.
Children & Adolescents
Evaluations may focus on:
When parents clearly understand their child’s challenges and have a practical plan to address them, they can support their child more effectively and confidently.

Forensic Evaluations
Courts often require psychological assessments to answer critical questions about an individual’s abilities, limitations, or needs. These may include:
A carefully conducted forensic evaluation delivers objective, reliable answers to complex legal questions.
I am fascinated by children and adolescent’s complexities and competencies. No two are alike. I’ve worked with young people professionally since 1998. As a Special Education professional, I’ve developed expertise in behavioral diagnostics, classroom management, innovative classroom programming, technology, coaching, mentoring, and grant writing. I thrive on developing trust and rapport with students and parents.
I spent 15 years of my career as a Special Education teacher with elementary and middle school students in resource rooms and capped off my teaching tenure in an intensive self-contained behavior program. Working with Behavioral Neuropsychology, LLC., gives me continual opportunities to hone my professional skills living my passion for understanding and engaging people. I began my career as an elementary school volunteer. My path has allowed me to continue to grow and keep my commitment to get to know and work with the entire range of individuals from the most typical to the
more neurodivergent.

B.A. in Music Classical Vocal performance from Whitman College
Since graduating with a degree in classical performance, I have been in the business, accounting, and finance spheres, working at times in non-profit, governmental, private sector, and publicly traded companies as a business administrator, accountant, and financial analyst focused on FP&A (financial planning and analysis). In this field, I am most passionate about diving into murky financial and operational data to provide clear, accurate, and useful business narratives to key stakeholders.
Looking ahead, my desire is to explore my family background of service in the mental health field while re-establishing a connection to my musical background. I aspire to pursue degrees in mental health as well as music therapy and to find a balance point where I can use traditional therapeutic interventions alongside music and music appreciation to address issues of depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders. My background in business and accounting will be of great use in establishing a sustainable practice model in this field.
