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!

I work with adults and teens who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, trauma, or life stress and feel stuck despite trying to cope alone. Others seek clarity around symptoms or support during major life transitions. Children and adolescents may struggle with emotional regulation, attention, mood changes, or behavioral concerns. Often, individuals or parents want relief and a clear path forward with a provider who listens and helps them feel more balanced, focused, and hopeful.

Dr. Christie Simon Waterman

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Maryland


I am Dr. Christie Simon-Waterman, a dually certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over a decade of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based, and holistic care across the lifespan. My clinical background spans primary care, mental health, and community-based health, allowing me to care for the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.

I earned my nursing education at Coppin State University and completed my doctoral training with a strong focus on health equity, leadership, and integrated care delivery.

In my practice, I specialize in:

  • Anxiety, depression, trauma-related conditions, and mood disorders
  • Integrated mental health treatment
  • Substance use–related concerns and recovery support
  • Care for underserved and marginalized populations

My approach is empathetic, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I believe healing happens best when clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. Together, we develop personalized treatment plans that may include therapy, medication management when appropriate, lifestyle interventions, and ongoing support tailored to your goals.

Above all, I am committed to creating a safe, supportive responsive space where clients can build resilience, restore balance, and move forward with confidence and clarity.

Therapist

Welcome

Hello, and thank you for considering me as your therapist. My name is Tarianda Ruston, and I have more than 25 years of experience working in the helping profession. I am a licensed clinical social worker in both Maryland and the District of Columbia, with a diverse background that has allowed me to support individuals and families through many of life's challenges.

Throughout my career, I have worked in child welfare, foster care and adoption, inpatient mental health, custody cases, special education, and school mental health. These experiences have provided me with a deep understanding of the unique challenges people face across different stages of life. My passion is helping individuals discover their strengths, overcome obstacles, and build the tools needed for lifelong emotional wellness.

I believe therapy is a partnership built on trust, respect, and authenticity. My role is not to tell you what to do or make decisions for you. Instead, I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences openly. Through thoughtful questions, compassionate reflection, and evidence-based strategies, I will help you gain insight, clarify your values, and make choices that align with the life you want to create.
