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
