Meet Laura Van Roekel, LMHC, New Addition to the WDM Therapy Team!

Laura Van Roekel is a licensed mental health clinician. She received her Bachelor of Science in Counseling with an emphasis in Addiction, Chemical dependency, and Substance Abuse from Grand Canyon University and received her Master of Arts in counseling from the University of Northern Iowa.

She is passionate about creating freedom in the therapy space to process in the way that you need because everyone deserves to be heard, reminded who they are, and supported through adversities to reach a new level of thriving. Laura believes that God calls us to not live life alone and she believes therapy provides a unique environment to connect and work through vulnerabilities in a safe and non-judgmental space. Laura works primarily with teenagers through the lifespan with trauma and sexual assault history, depression, struggles with finding your purpose, relationship concerns, and anxiety. She has experience working with college students in a university setting and is trained in EMDR. Laura is honored to be a part of your journey, no matter who you are or where you are at, because she whole-heartedly believes that your story matters.

Laura strongly thinks that a successful Saturday should include a latte, donut, walk around the farmer’s market, baking, and as much time outside as possible with her two daughters and husband. Laura splits her time as a part-time therapist, stay-at-home mom, and Kids Ministry director, and she is excited to meet you!
