Hello...

Welcome to my website! My name is Dr. Simon Rego. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Board Certified in Cognitive Behavioral Psychology by the American Board of Professional Psychology and a Fellow of the Academy of Cognitive Therapy. My expertise is in the assessment and treatment of anxiety (e.g., Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Panic Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, etc.), mood (e.g., Depression), sleep (e.g., Insomnia), and body focused repetitive disorders (e.g., trichotillomania).

Goals:

I plan to make this website a place where people can come to learn more about the field of clinical psychology and some of the better psychological resources that are available for treating psychiatric disorders. In particular, I will focus on:

Describing clinical psychology and the different types of therapists
Describing evidence-based psychological treatments (treatments that have been tested by researchers)
Summarizing the latest research findings on different psychological disorders
Offering book recommendations - for both clinicians and patients
Providing links to other useful sites
