Howdy! My name is Karly Trotter, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. My practice helps pre- and postpartum parents, persons with OCD and anxiety, and neurodivergent folks handle feelings of stress, executive dysfunction, intrusive thinking, and self-doubt.
Personally and professionally, I've seen how therapy can deeply change experiences of suffering. I warmly encourage you to give therapy a chance, join my women's group, or take advantage of my free yoga or meditation classes if you have financial constraints.
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 have been practicing therapy for about 5 years, receiving my master's degree from Saint Leo University in 2023 and my LCSW-C licensure in 2026. My main focus areas are complex trauma and attachment based issues, but I also am very effective at dealing with individuals with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and Autism.
Hi! My name is Angela Welch and I'm a licensed professional counselor in MD. I have an MS in Counseling Psychology. I have 9 years practice in counseling, with an additional 15 years in the human services field. My practice helps clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and/or trauma manage symptoms through an attachment-based model, grounded in CBT and Reality Therapy.
I work with men who are in a “next chapter” season, high school and college students stepping into adulthood, and high-performing professionals and entrepreneurs who carry a lot and rarely have a real place to put it down. A lot of the guys I support feel stuck in confusion, relationship stress, fatherhood pressure, or the weight of past experiences that still show up in the present. My style is warm, direct, and easy to talk to, but I’m also honest and strategic. I help you get clear on what’s driving you and what’s blocking you. My background includes a B.S. in Sociology from Florida A&M University, an M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Bowie State University with psychotherapy training, clinical training in a men’s resource setting, and service as an Army chaplain assistant.
My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style. - Maya Angelou Hello!

I have 20 years of experience employed in behavioral health facilities, private practice, correctional centers, veteran affairs, group homes and also providing medical social work/ therapy to oncology, emergent, and crisis patients in the hospital setting.
“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” With over 10 years of clinical experience in psychotherapy, my goal is to help others to find the light. Congratulations on taking the hardest step of the journey with seeking help.

I have 20 years of experience providing therapy for individuals, families, and couples. I also have over 28 years of experience working in various social work settings. I am a certified life coach, a licensed minister as well as an author. I believe that every person has the right and ability to live a purposeful and fulfilled life. My goal is to empower, affirm, and build individuals to reach their maximum potential. I will never impose religious beliefs on my clients and will always value and support their individual perspectives. I enjoy facilitating workshops on various life issues, divorce, grief and loss and empowerment.
