Dr. Charity Rolfes, LCP

Dr. Charity Rolfes, LCP (Licensed Clinical Psychologist), is a Virginia-based clinician with 25 years of clinical experience helping people navigate complex emotional and relational challenges. Her practice centers on the therapeutic relationship as the essential foundation for meaningful change, with an emphasis on creating a compassionate, respectful, and nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can safely explore difficult feelings and painful life events.

She understands how messages about self-worth, traumatic or abusive experiences, and loss can undermine confidence, strain relationships, and leave lasting emotional impact. Dr. Rolfes draws on a broad range of training and clinical tools to address these issues, including psychodynamic approaches, cognitive behavioral techniques, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness-based practices, somatic methods, Client-Centered principles, and elements of Jungian thought. These modalities are applied flexibly to meet the particular needs of each person.

Dr. Rolfes has experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds, including people across racial and ethnic identities, LGBTQIA+ communities, various branches of military service, different abilities and neurodiversity profiles, immigration statuses, and a range of spiritual traditions. Her clinical focus spans stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, family and relationship concerns, parenting, eating and body-image issues, chronic illness and pain, and many other areas of life strain.

Grounded in evidence-informed practice and clinical breadth, Dr. Rolfes helps clients explore goals, process difficult experiences, and build more satisfying connections and a more meaningful life.
