Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hi, My name is Charity B. Rolfes and I am a Virginia licensed Clinical Psychologist with 25 years of experience. The therapeutic relationship is the foundation of any type of psychotherapy. It begins with mutual respect and the therapist’s ability to create a supportive, compassionate, non-judgmental atmosphere where a patient feels safe to explore and address life’s challenges.
A great many of us are taught that some aspects of ourselves are wrong, bad, or not good enough. Too many experience traumatic or abusive situations that can shake our confidence in ourselves, our safety, and other people, and all of us will experience losses that cause us sadness and pain. Psychology provides many paths to work with the emotions and consequences resulting from these experiences in a way that leads to growth and a more meaningful and fulfilling life, and healthy connections with others. I have training in and experience with a broad range of psychotherapies, including psychodynamic, Dialectical Behavior, mindfulness based, somatic, and cognitive behavioral therapies. I enjoy and have experience working with clients from many backgrounds, races, ethnicities, LGBTQIA+ identities, branches of military service, ability and neurodiversity statuses, immigration statuses, and religions and spiritual traditions.
I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you, explore your goals, and work toward the life that you envision for yourself.
