Our name, Knox Mindcare Collective Psychosocial Services (formerly Knox Cube Behavioral & Mental Health Center), pays tribute to Dr. Howard Andrew Knox, an early pioneer in the field of mental assessment. In the 1910s, while serving as an assistant surgeon at Ellis Island, Dr. Knox developed the Knox Cube Imitation Test—a simple yet powerful tool designed to identify cognitive difficulties in immi
grants, using nonverbal methods that bypassed language and cultural barriers. This approach was revolutionary for its time, emphasizing function over form, accessibility, and practicality—principles that continue to guide modern psychological testing today. In our early years as Knox Cube Behavioral & Mental Health Center, our primary role was to deliver streamlined mental health assessments for investors and locators at the Subic Bay Freeport Zone applying for a Special Subic Work Visa (SSWV). Much like Dr. Knox’s vision, we relied on minimal yet meaningful tools, including projective techniques and concise screening protocols, to obtain valuable psychological insights with efficiency and integrity. Though we’ve since evolved into a full-spectrum psychosocial services provider, the spirit of the "Knox Cube" remains foundational—simple tools, sound judgment, and culturally sensitive mental health care. Knox Mindcare Collective Psychosocial Services reflects our core values:
