I specialize in working with adults, adolescents, children , and families who face emotional and behavioral challenges, such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and difficulties related to life transitions, loss, or family changes. My goal is to create a safe, accepting space where people can express themselves freely through words, symbolic play, and creative expression. I help my clients explore their inner world, guiding them toward emotional growth and resilience.

I have extensive experience working within the public mental health system and in educational-therapeutic settings. I have served as a psychotherapist in post-hospitalization residential programs for both adolescents and adults, providing ongoing clinical treatment and support. In addition, I worked at the Adolescent Parent Center, where I provided individual therapy as well as parental guidance.

I have also maintained a private practice, offering psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and adults, along with parent coaching services.

Charlie Wolfe

Charlie Wolfe

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


Hello, I'm Charlie Wolfe, LCPC, C-DBT, and I cover the entire state of Maryland. My journey into the world of mental health began with a profound personal experience. A traumatic event early in my life redirected my path from becoming a neurologist to exploring the depths of human relationships and mental health. This experience not only shaped my career but also instilled in me a passion for extreme sports like rock climbing and base jumping, as I refused to let trauma define me. Instead, I chose to become a survivor and help others do the same.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in cognitive-behavioral therapy, and I draw from various methods, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (C-DBT), Grief Counsel (CGP), Trauma-Informed Care (CCTP), Multicultural Care, Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Style. Mindfulness Practices (CMIP), Anger Management, and Pain Management. I believe that change is not easy and often uncomfortable, but it is essential for growth. My goal is to help you rewrite your story and embrace the changes necessary for a fulfilling life. I hold post-graduate certification in trauma, mindfulness, grief all through the lens of being a DBT therapist.

If you are ready to embrace change and discover your potential, let's work together to achieve your goals. Reach out, and let's start this transformative journey together. Alway understand my practice motto; "You are the expert of you." "One team," "Do what I say I will," "Responsible," "Diversity and inclusion," and "Learning and development in clients as much as self." My sole internal agenda for you is self-inspiration!
