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!

Life can feel overwhelming — and sometimes the weight of anxiety, depression, or past trauma can make it hard to see a way forward. I'm here to help you make sense of what you're carrying and find a path toward feeling more like yourself again.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 7 years of experience supporting adults through some of life's most difficult moments. Over the past 3.5 years as an independently licensed therapist, I've had the privilege of walking alongside clients navigating anxiety, depression, and the lasting effects of trauma. My approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based practices — evidence-backed tools that I tailor to fit you, not the other way around.

I believe therapy works best when you feel truly seen and safe. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, and I'm committed to creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment.

Shannon Rosenbauer

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


Hi, I’m Shannon! I’m a licensed clinical social worker who genuinely believes that finding the right therapist can make all the difference.

Over the past 13+ years, I’ve had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and families, supporting people through a wide variety of experiences and stages of life. This diverse experience has taught me that everyone’s story is different—and that therapy should be tailored to the person sitting in front of me.

I’m a warm, down-to-earth therapist, and I want my clients to feel comfortable being their authentic selves in therapy. You don’t have to have the right words, know exactly what you need, or have everything figured out before starting. We can start wherever you are.

Throughout my career, I’ve supported clients navigating everything from everyday stress and anxiety to major life transitions, relationships, family challenges, chronic illness, and other difficult or unexpected circumstances. I also bring specialized experience in pediatric hematology/oncology and survivorship, which has given me a unique perspective on the emotional impact that significant life changes can have on individuals and families.

My practice is fully virtual throughout Maryland, allowing me to provide therapy in a way that is comfortable, convenient, and accessible.

Most importantly, I want you to feel like you have a therapist in your corner—someone who will listen, understand, and work alongside you.
