Couples Therapy
With Bradford Wolf, LCSW
For my entire career, I’ve focused on helping couples strengthen their relationships and prevent divorce.
As a husband and father of 3, I know from experience that relationships take work.
Do you feel like you’re speaking different languages?
Do small disagreements turn into big fights, or long silences?
Many couples come to me when they’re tired of the same patterns: frustration, distance, or resentment that won’t go away. It’s not about blame, it’s about learning how to see and hear each other again.
Couples Come To Me When They
Want better communication
Feel distant from each other
Argue over the same issues
Feel resentful + misunderstood
Lack intimacy
Seek relationship balance
You don’t have to settle for constant tension or uncertainty.
In our sessions, you’ll rebuild your foundation together.
All relationships need tune-ups
What Couples Therapy With Me Looks Like
Our sessions are calm, focused, and practical. I’ll help both of you slow things down, call out dynamics as they happen, and shift from reacting to understanding.
We’ll also explore how your individual histories affect your relationship today, and create tools you’ll use between sessions.
Modalities We’ll Use In Therapy:
-
Research-based approach that helps couples improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen emotional connection.
-
Uncovers how past experiences shape current relationship patterns so you can respond with awareness, not reactivity.
-
Challenges unhelpful thoughts and assumptions that fuel frustration and defensiveness.
-
You’ll learn small, realistic ways to apply what we discuss so you see progress between sessions.
The goal isn’t just to stop fighting, it’s to build a partnership that feels fair, connected, and safe.
Change in real life, not just in the therapy room.
Get the tools to move through conflict in ways that work.
After Sessions With Me,

Greater appreciation for the other
During therapy, you’ll see the shift from talking past each other to working toward the same goals.
About Bradford Wolf, LCSW
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.
