Dr. Wardle is one of the best clinicians I have ever met--and I am an LMSW with experience in mental health practice. She is caring, compassionate, articulate, and thoughtful. She has years of experience and it shows in her technique. I have rarely met a practitioner who made me feel so comfortable. Also, her office space is amazing. Both waiting room and office are comfortable, private, quiet (in the woods) and cozy. The coffee and tea are lovely touches. I recommend her without reservation.
