Helping parents decode their child/teen’s mood & behavior is my superpower! I speak & help translate the mysterious language, “teen”! I'm here to support your child's well-being and help them overcome any changes that seem to have appeared overnight including low self-esteem, moodiness, depression, anxiety, and academic changes. I tailor therapy to fit your family’s needs and strongly promote and respect your need for privacy. I’m the right therapist to address your family’s needs if you are looking for a confidential space for growth & problem-solving and would like to invest in your family’s overall well-being.

I have provided therapeutic support across the country to various individuals experiencing difficult episodes in their lives. I believe in taking a mind/body/spirit approach to any and all challenges that we face on a daily basis, and encourage self-care, mindfulness, and humor as effective coping strategies. I work in partnership with each client, providing structure and guidance via a variety of therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, Gestalt, logotherapy, and feminist theory.

I typically have good rapport with teens and children. I also enjoy working with adults of all ages.

There are many reasons why you may decide to begin therapy. The important thing is taking the first step toward an opportunity for you to discover ways of building new skills and gaining new knowledge to help you experience life in a more fulfilling way. My goal is to help you build skills to increase self awareness and self acceptance resulting in feeling empowered to reach your goals and improving your sense of well-being. I have worked with clients from children to adults in school and private settings. I believe in providing support in a peaceful and accepting atmosphere.

With the demands life makes on us, sometimes it becomes too much. The same way we go to the doctor for physical ailments, sometimes we need assistance managing our mental and emotional wellbeing. Do you need support as you balance the many roles you have in your life? Have you noticed your physical health being impacted by the stress? Maybe you've had huge milestones or life events happen and are having a hard time adjusting? Or maybe you've been hearing buzz phrases like 'self care' and are wondering what that looks like beyond home spa days?

I am only offering virtual appointments at this time. My goal is to help my clients learn to cope with the problems and stress they may be experiencing and to help them identify ways to form healthier, happier relationships. To accomplish this, I seek to create a therapeutic relationship that promotes healing and growth, enhances insight and perspective, and helps clients figure out what they want from life and how to achieve those goals. The clients that I work with are individual adults and couples.

“Mental health is not a destination, but a process. It’s about how you drive, not where you’re going” – Noam Shpancer, PHD. Sometimes in life we reach a point where we lose focus on the things critical to improving/maintaining our mental health and overall quality of life. I myself have once reached that point and it was then I realized the importance of having a strong network of support, including a therapist. I have come to learn that a tremendous amount of people feel alone, left out, or unheard; and so, I strive to create a safe space for people to be seen, heard, understood, and valued.

Whether you’re looking to address a specific concern, bring big changes to your life, or feel more present in the life you’ve already built, counseling is a great resource. I enjoy helping individuals with anxiety and OCD get back to - or create - the life they want to be living.  I also have a special interest in anxiety and distress about environmental and climate-related concerns, so we can talk about worry, fear, dread, and the discomfort of the unknown in many different shapes and sizes.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, don't suffer alone! Everyone can use support sometimes, and I love finding ways to help clients feel comforted, supported, and encouraged. I work primarily with women, although that work can extend into couples and families. I work on many different issues, but have special interest in anxiety, life transitions, grief, and parenting work. I offer an integrated model for counseling and wellness including a holistic approach, practical ideas for change, a beautiful setting, and yoga and retreat offerings. Good counseling can create a connection where change, and growth are possible and even likely.

I work with adults and couples with depression, anxiety, loss and grief, relationship problems, and other difficulties. My training is in intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP). This therapy allows for rapid identification of problem areas and focuses on emotional healing. This process helps clients rapidly clarify what is not working and enables change of destructive emotional patterns. Then the way is clear to adopt new, more effective life skills.

It's easy to feel like you should be happy. But when doubts about your strength and value come creeping in, anyone can feel like they don't measure up. Family, relationships, trauma, embarrassments, anything big or small can hurt, under the wrong circumstances. Therapy isn't about making things perfect, it's about feeling calm and confident in yourself, even when things feel broken. Loving yourself might seem like a huge, impossible goal, but I believe that it is the best goal you can ever set.

Hi my name is Carilyn Rego, but I go by Carrie. I am a licensed clinical social worker in the states of Maryland and Florida who has been working in the mental health field for 17 years.

Take charge of your life...manage communications, thinking, emotions, behaviors and goals! When you and I meet in session, it will be a unique experience designed to meet what works for your needs and goals. I view each person in a holistic framework that encompasses cognitive, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects. The goal of our work together is to achieve a sense of balance in your life where all aspects of you are working together in harmony to achieve wellness. My training and experience encompass an eclectic approach that combines the newest research and time tested theories, strategies, and techniques.

CURRENTLY NOT TAKING NEW CLIENTS. I've been in the social worker field since 1996 working with adults, children, and families. I worked in the foster and adoption field for over 18 years and I specialize in attachment related issues and early childhood trauma. I work with people experiencing anxiety, mood disorders and adjustment related issues as well as phase of life issues, grief and work/life balance. In working with my clients, I use a direct, supportive, and interactive approach. In addition to my work as a social worker, I am also fitness instructor and I promote an overall sense of well-being, both physically and mentally.

Are you in a relationship where you feel like you are not being understood? Do you feel lost, alone, or that your communication always leads you to a brick wall? Are you confused at times about your own goals and aspirations? If so, you are not alone, you are not the only one whose social media tells a different story than the one you are bottling up inside.

Our lives are complicated and often stressful, necessitating juggling multiple roles, responsibilities and internal as well as external conflicts. Clients may be dealing with so many challenges, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating), relationship problems, career uncertainty, family conflicts. Whatever the issue, the important factor is the willingness to face it and bring energy to working on it. The work we do in psychotherapy is both nurturing and stretching and opens the door to the possibility of growth and change .

I am direct and straightforward, while also being respectful and encouraging in guiding clients in identifying and utilizing their strengths to move forward toward their targets. My background includes 10+ years providing community mental health services for adults with severe mental illness and substance abuse. I also worked in Howard County Public Schools for many years providing crisis intervention to students. Following my undergraduate studies in Psychology and Music at St. Mary's College of Maryland, I earned a Masters in Social Work with a specialty in Clinical Mental Health from the University of Maryland.

My core belief as a therapist is simple but profound: every person is inherently worthy, whole, and beautiful exactly as they are. Yet, I understand that the world doesn't always echo this sentiment back to us. Sometimes, life's challenges, past traumas, or societal systems can create barriers that disconnect us from our authentic selves. It's all too easy to lose touch with our inner essence and find ourselves grappling with questions like, "Who am I?", "What is my purpose?", or even, "Do I matter?" I want you to know this: You absolutely do matter.

I believe in empowering my clients to discover their inner strengths. Therapy is a journey in self exploration, self awareness and change. I use a multicultural perspective to inform my clinical practice. I offer tele-health services to my clients accessibility to care .Self pay clients can expect an appointment within 24 hours. My sessions use mindfulness, practicing self regulation, cognitive restructuring, imago skills, play therapy and many other techniques that are relevant to a client's treatment plan. I am available to my clients between sessions via text and secure video chatting. I offer financial therapy.
