Hello...
Welcome to my website! My name is Dr. Simon Rego. I am a
Licensed
Clinical Psychologist with expertise in the cognitive-behavioral
assessment and treatment of anxiety, mood, sleep, and body focused
repetitive disorders.
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
