Dianne Wandle

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 20 years of experience in the public sector, supporting children, families, individuals, and veterans across school, healthcare, and community-based settings. I currently serve as a District Mental Health Provider, where I provide counseling, develop treatment plans, and collaborate closely with families, educators, and multidisciplinary teams to support client well-being. My background also includes work in child welfare, hospital social work, long-term care, and veteran services, where I coordinated care and supported veterans and their families in accessing essential resources and maintaining independence.

In my clinical work, I use a collaborative, client-centered approach, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT-informed strategies, strength-based, and solution-focused techniques. I focus on the whole life system of each client, helping individuals build on their strengths, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Clients can expect a welcoming, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment in our first session, where building rapport and establishing trust are my top priorities. I focus on finding common ground and creating a space where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences. Together, we will explore your concerns, identify your strengths, and begin to clarify your goals for treatment. I work collaboratively with clients to develop clear, realistic outcomes and a plan that supports meaningful progress, ensuring care is tailored to your unique needs and overall life circumstances.
