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.

Oluseyi Agbaje

Oluseyi Agbaje

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • District of Columbia


As a Psychiatrist mental health nurse practitioner with over 22 years in nursing practice, I have a strong foundation in evidence-based practice and psychiatric care. I have been trained to diagnose and treat mental health conditions using the latest research and clinical guidelines. Your treatment plan, which may include medication management, psychotherapy, or a combination of both, would be based on my professional expertise and designed to address the biological, psychological, and social aspects of your patient's well-being.

My identity as a spirit-filled Christian means that my faith is a core part of who I am. My faith often includes a belief in the power of prayer, spiritual guidance, and a holistic view of health that encompasses the mind, body, and spirit. This translates into a deep sense of empathy and a non-judgmental approach, seeing each person as a valuable individual created in God's image.
