“The system worked and helped find a suitable fit. However, the billing personnel for that handles the doctor's billing remains questionable.”

Getting to know Shirley Wolf
Shirley understands that when we follow the pressures put on us by others, we lose our freedom and make choices we’re not proud of. Her goal is to guide clients to regain their freedom and achieve a fulfilling life. Shirley graduated from the University of Louisville, Kentucky, with a Master’s degree in Social Work. She received certification from the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP) and is an Associate Sex Addiction Therapist (ASAT). She has worked with sexual offenders, survivors of many different types of abuse, and those with addictive behaviors and low self-esteem. You will find Shirley utilizes various therapeutic strategies throughout the problem-solving process. These include, but are not limited to, Motivational Interviewing (MI)—skills that empower the client to express their concerns from their own perspective—Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These techniques are used simultaneously to educate the client, guide them to discover their own comfortable resolutions, and acknowledge and accept past hurts, disappointments, and uncomfortable feelings. Shirley is licensed in the state of Maryland (#24400).

Wasted half my intake session repeating information found in forms that I already signed online. Talked to me as if I was a 2 yr old. The forms were tedious lengthy asking way too much personal information like my credit card number and CODE! Is that even legal? Took me 4 separate time to get access to their forms. Then when I explained why I wouldn't continue, they backed their behavior rather than taking the feedback seriously. Requested I give their counselor a 5 star rather than honestly give her what she deserves, a 0. Very disappointed in this company and their choice of counselors.

Shirley wolf was a delight. The appointment started on time and she stayed focused on the issue. She is a very good listener and I was actually surprised that so much was accomplished on the first session. Her follow through was also very good. She sent articles and information to clarify some issues and help with my understanding of me. I look forward to working with her.

Shirley was always very caring and prepared to help me in useful ways. She listened to me and helped me. I had to discontinue due to Covid 19 closing the schools resulting in me having difficulty finding childcare for appointments.
