Life’s journey can create many experiences that lead us through paths of adventure and also challenge. When we are faced with difficulties and hardships in life, the road can often leave us feeling isolated, lonely, ashamed, weak, unloved, and even broken.

Hello! My name is Amy Steve. I am a licensed Independent Social Worker, but more importantly, I am a mental health therapist and individual that is compassionate and cares deeply about helping children, adolescents, and adults overcome the roadblocks that they may face on their journey through life.

In practice, I approach each person with acceptance, authenticity, and a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to share your story. I believe that each person is unique, so that is why therapeutic treatment will be individually tailored to meet your specific needs.

I have experience working with a variety of individuals to address a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns. Special interests include the treatment of anxiety, depression/mood disorders, ADHD, children with emotional-behavioral issues, anger management, life transitions, relationship issues, self-esteem, trauma, stress management, and grief/loss issues.

I utilize person centered, strengths based, and solution focused approaches through integrating a variety of therapy techniques that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Play Therapy, Expressive Art Therapy, and Mindfulness.

I appreciate being a witness to and a part of your journey towards growth and healing.

Life can be overwhelming at times, and we all face moments when our emotions and thoughts feel too much to handle. Whether you're struggling with stress, anxiety, or navigating a significant life transition, you don't have to go through it alone. I'm here to offer a supportive, compassionate space to help you explore your feelings, gain insight, and move toward growth. 

Hi, I'm Brock Osthoff, and I've lived in Dubuque my entire life, which has given me a deep connection to the community and an understanding of the unique challenges people face here. With a Master's in Social Work from Clarke University, I have a passion for working with individuals of all ages in my community, and have had previous experience working with children and college-aged clients. 

In my practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and reframe negative thought patterns, enabling them to manage stress and anxiety more effectively. I also incorporate Play Therapy for younger clients, giving them an opportunity to express themselves in a safe and creative way to better understand and process their emotions. 

My approach is built on empathy, respect, and a collaborative relationship where you feel heard and supported. I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and change, and I'm committed to helping you find your path of healing, self-discovery, and peace.
