About Brad Wolf, LCSW

Bradford Wolf, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, in a professional headshot in a circular outline

I help couples rebuild connection, understanding, and respect by being direct, calm, and relatable. Therapy doesn’t have to feel formal or uncomfortable. My goal is to make space where both partners feel safe to be honest and motivated to grow.

I’m Gottman-trained and draw from CBT and psychodynamic approaches to help couples identify what’s really happening beneath the surface. I understand how values shape marriage, commitment, and communication, and I welcome that perspective in our work together.

Outside of sessions, I’m a husband, dad of three, and lifelong DC sports fan. I enjoy traveling, hiking, and exploring history. I’ve visited over 15 countries and love a good road trip out West.

If you’re ready to improve your relationship, I’m here to help.

Availability: I work with couples in-person in Rockville; Telehealth visits across Maryland and Virginia.
