Dr. Ward is a fantastic medical professional with a wealth of knowledge. They treat their clients from a place of compassion and empathy for what they are going through. I would recommend them to anyone seeking services.
I would recommend Mariah. She is highly compassionate and creates an environment for her clients that is conductive for their healing process. She is dedicated to helping others. If you or a loved one is in need of healing do not hesitate to call.
Dr Meriah is an incredible psychiatric nurse practitioner who truly cares about patients and their results. They are excellent in providing trauma informed care in a safe, holistic, non- judgmental affirming space. Highly recommend for medication managements and therapy for clients in California!
Dr. Ward is an amazing provider. They are neurodiversity and LGBTQ+ friendly, and work to accommodate the needs of patients that would otherwise not be able to access care. They are knowledgeable and caring, and work hard to find answers to your medical concerns and explain them to you so that you fully understand. I could not recommend them more highly!
Dr. Ward was extremely thoughtful and had great insight into neurodivergent and LGBTQIA experiences and identities. I really appreciate Dr. Ward’s thorough and direct communication style
Dr Ward is AMAZING. They are so thoughtful in their assessment of my needs and help me reach the goals they've help me set for myself. If you're nervous about seeing a mental health provider, please give them a try!
Especially right now, it's so important to know you're working with someone who is truly LGBTQIA+ affirmative. Dr Meriah really gets it. They not only have an extensive background in treating neurodivergence and trauma, but also really bring their authentic self to the work, which is so refreshing. Highly recommend!
I highly recommend Dr. Ward! A deeply affirming and inclusive space. They truly understand the unique needs of neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ individuals, creating a safe, compassionate environment for real healing and growth.
Dr. Ward provides excellent care, they listen to what I as a patient needed and work well with neurodivergant and lgbtqia+ individuals.
Dr. Ward is the most thorough provider I’ve ever had. They take the time to consider every angle and work their hardest to figure out whatever it is that I’m going through, especially in regard to my medication management. I’ve found relief for the first time thanks to the medication prescribed and can finally make progress in the psychotherapy side of things. They were patient and kind and a little no nonsense in a way that really help. There is no fluff, just genuine care and insight that makes real progress possible.
