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!

Dr. Oretha Sogbie

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Bel Air, MD


If you've been working, parenting, caring for others, and meeting your responsibilities while quietly feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck, you're not alone.

I'm Dr. Oretha Sogbie-Berko, a Doctor of Nursing Practice and dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner with more than 19 years of healthcare experience. I work primarily with adults who appear to be functioning well but no longer feel like themselves. Behind the scenes, they may be managing anxiety, depression, burnout, caregiver stress, low self-esteem, ADHD symptoms, or a difficult life transition.

I offer both individual therapy and psychiatric medication management. Some clients choose therapy alone, others benefit from medication, and many find that a combination works best. If you'd prefer to start without medication, that's a completely valid place to begin.


I'll offer clinical guidance and honest feedback, but you'll always have a voice in your care. You don't need to know whether you need therapy, medication, or both before reaching out. We can evaluate your concerns, discuss your options, and decide together.

If you're ready to feel more like yourself again, I'm here to help

Shannon Rosenbauer

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.

Destinee Geoghegan

Destinee Geoghegan

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


I see therapy as a space for connection, self-discovery, and becoming more grounded in who you are. After 10+ years in this field, I’ve learned that healing isn’t linear and doesn’t have to be complicated or clinical - it can be honest, real, and human.

I’d like to consider myself a down-to-earth therapist who believes we often carry more strength, wisdom, and ability to heal and grow than we realize. I believe in caring for the whole person and exploring the many ways we can reconnect with ourselves, including through movement, time in nature, and simply listening to what our bodies are telling us. My heart has always been in empowering people to navigate the different parts of themselves, understand their experiences, and feel more confident in who they are becoming. I want my clients to feel seen, supported, and free to simply be themselves.

My primary population focus is teenage girls and young women, supporting them through family and women’s issues, stress, anxiety, ADHD, anger management. But everyone is welcome here, if you feel a good vibe and think i'm a good fit for you, reach out, i'd be happy to help.

My approach incorporates CBT, art therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy.

I bring compassion, honesty, good energy, and a genuine belief that growth doesn’t require you to become someone else. It’s about understanding yourself more deeply, embracing all the different parts of who you are, and discovering the strength and potential that have been there all along. I’ll meet you where you are, walk alongside you through the hard parts, and challenge you when you need a reminder of what you’re capable of ✨
