Hi my name is Carilyn Rego, but I go by Carrie. I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Maryland who has been working in the mental health field for 15 years. I have my MSW from Monmouth University and have worked in a variety of different settings and in different states. I have worked in therapy settings with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, substance use, PTSD, DID, and schizophrenia.
I consider my theoretical approach to be eclectic, since no two people have the same needs. I believe in giving clients the time, space, and resources they need to discover their own path to healing. I start with a person-centered approach to help clients identify their goals and then work from there to determine if a more specific type of therapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is appropriate.
I have experience working with clients from all types of backgrounds and belief systems, and I pride myself in maintaining a non-judgemental atmosphere. I have specific experience and training in working with LGBTQ clients, including in supporting transgender individuals in their own unique journeys. Another area in which I have significant professional and person experience is in working with survivors of suicide.
I firmly believe that every person can live their best life given the right tools and support! It is the job of a good therapist to help each client see that potential in themselves and achieve their goals! Together, we can do this!

She is so helpful, and listens, and provides truly helpful suggestions, and lets me share at my own pace. My sessions have been so helpful in organizing my thoughts and validating some of my emotions as my life in is a huge transition phase right now, and I do not do well with change, period. She is patient, kind, non judgemental, understanding, empathetic, and truly listens. I feel heard and seen.

Carilyn is the rare combination of very empathetic, gentle and caring and exceedingly insightful. She always allows me the space to feel what I need to process but helps to create effective strategies to move forward. I never feel rushed or silly and I feel genuinely cared for. Carilyn is one of a kind. I cannot speak highly enough of her.

Carrie is very understanding of my issues and with her experiences in the past has helped me begin the process of figuring out how to go about dealing with them in a healthy manner. She's helped identify the core issues and points of my concerns, offered me good advice and ideas, and set me on a path to being a healthier person that's true to myself.

It’s been just over a year now with Carilyn in therapy and it has transformed my life for the best. She has taught me valuable life skills I will use for the rest of my life. Still so much more to learn about myself and that excites me. Carilyn is so quick to respond to me and you can tell she cares about what’s going on. I’m truly thankful for her.

Carilyn is a fantastic listener and gives me a ton of space to talk about whatever I'm thinking or feeling in the moment. She lets me go off on tangents and then finds things to talk about within those tangents, rather than trying to keep our conversation within a certain topic or structure. She's also incredibly sweet, and always reminds me that I can always message her even during a week where we can't have a live session.
