I am a licensed therapist and the founder of The F.L. Wolters Group, a therapy and wellness practice based in Washington DC. I bring more than 15 years of experience supporting adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, trauma, and burnout.
Throughout my career I have worked with individuals from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds, including high achieving professionals, caregivers, and people managing significant life and career transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed or carrying a great deal of responsibility in their personal and professional lives.
In addition to providing therapy, I developed the FLWG Way, an integrated model of care that blends high quality therapy with community based wellness programming grounded in the eight dimensions of wellness.

I focus mostly on behavior change. That might be a change from how you think about yourself, relationships, work, or something else. I can help you explore that. My role is to support you in believing that change is possible.
I also work in an open-ended environment. There is no contract or set number of sessions. Therapy should be flexible, and everyone's frequency is different. Most people notice growth within 10 sessions.

With 8 years of experience in the mental health field, I firmly believe in the parity of mental and physical health. Life often leads us into dark tunnels, and my role in therapy is to guide individuals toward the light at the end of those tunnels.

I help individuals and couples who feel overloaded, anxious, or stuck. Life can be exhausting when stress, anxiety and relationship problems start piling up. You might be doing everything you can to keep going, but still feeling tense, misunderstood and worn down. When things feel heavy for too long, it can impact your sleep, your confidence, and your ability to show up the way you want to.
I offer a calm, steady space where you can talk openly without judgment. My work is focused on helping you understand what you’re feeling, why it’s happening, and how to get relief. You’ll get support that feels real, straightforward, and grounded.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Washington
Searching for therapists in Washington, DC starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist is trained for it. DC has a wide range of therapists across neighborhoods like Georgetown, Dupont Circle, Adams Morgan, and Capitol Hill, with specialties that may include anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, and work stress. As you compare Washington, DC therapists, look for profiles that name the concerns you want to address and explain the therapist’s approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other forms of talk therapy.
In a major metro area like Washington, the number of options can make it harder to narrow your search. Practical fit matters, too. Consider whether you prefer an office near work, home, transit, or a virtual appointment that fits your schedule. You can also compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist structures sessions, communicates, and works with people who have similar needs.
Therapy in Washington, DC can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, accept your insurance, and offer clear next steps. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, review therapist profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
