Center for Coping

The Center for Coping is dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges through personalized and compassionate counseling. Under the direction of Dr. Robert H. Phillips, the Center’s team of credentialed Coping Counselors empowers clients to overcome stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties by teaching practical, evidence-based coping strategies. Their mission is simple yet powerful—help people “prepare today for a better tomorrow” by learning how to manage emotions, solve problems, and build resilience.

Among the Center’s wide range of specialized services, stress and anger management are core components. Through structured, skills-based counseling, clients learn to identify triggers, develop self-control, and channel frustration in healthy, productive ways. This focus on emotional regulation not only benefits personal well-being but also strengthens relationships and enhances daily functioning. Whether someone is struggling with workplace stress, family tension, or the aftermath of emotional distress, the Coping Counselors provide tools to transform negative reactions into constructive communication and calm problem-solving.

The Center offers both individual and group therapy options, including programs for children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. Additional services include bereavement counseling, biofeedback, marital and family therapy, weight and stress management, play therapy, and pre- and post-surgical counseling. Flexible options such as telehealth and video sessions ensure accessibility and privacy for every client. With a compassionate, multidisciplinary team and decades of experience, the Center for Coping continues to be a trusted resource for individuals seeking meaningful, lasting change through professional guidance and emotional support.
