Laura Van Zwam, LSW

I’m Laura van Zwam, a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) with over 7 years of experience providing therapy to adults and adolescents navigating complex mental health challenges. Whether you’re facing a specific diagnosis or simply need someone to talk to, I’m here to help.
I specialize in treating:
* Anxiety disorders

* Depression and mood disorders

* Eating disorders

* Personality disorders

* Bipolar spectrum disorders

* Complicated grief

* Life transitions and adjustment issues

* First-episode psychosis or dissociation

My approach is trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and tailored to meet your individual needs. I offer therapy in English and Dutch, and have worked across the U.S. and Europe with people from a wide range of backgrounds, which gives me a deep appreciation for the diversity of human experience.
Personalized, Flexible Therapy That Works for You

I believe therapy is most effective when it’s a collaborative, adaptive process. My work is rooted in evidence-based practices like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), but I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. During our first few sessions, we’ll get to know each other, clarify your goals, and co-create a treatment plan that fits your unique journey.

Therapy sessions are available in-person at my office, via secure telehealth, or outdoors through walk-and-talk therapy—whatever helps you feel most comfortable and supported.

A Safe, Supportive Space to Heal

My top priority is creating a non-judgmental, open, and affirming environment where you feel safe to share, reflect, and grow. I’m consistently inspired by the resilience of my clients, and I’m honored to be a part of their path toward wellness and healing.
If you’re ready to take the next step toward feeling better, I invite you to reach out.
