Therapists in 52001

Currently offering sessions via Telehealth (audio and video) to clients throughout the state of Iowa. I have dedicated my career to the Human Services field since 2008 and have been providing therapy since 2016. I am a certified telemental health provider.

Life’s journey can create many experiences leading us through paths of adventure and also challenge. When faced with difficulties/hardships in life, the road can often leave us feeling isolated, lonely, ashamed, weak, unloved, and even broken. My name is Amy Steve. I am a licensed Independent Social Worker, but more importantly, I am a mental health therapist and individual that cares deeply about helping children, adolescents, and adults overcome roadblocks that they may face on their journey through life. I believe that each person is unique and that is why treatment will be individually tailored to meet your specific needs.

The world is a scary place right now. It is more important than ever to make sure that we have our safe space to process through life's curveballs. Stress? Life Changes? Depression? Anxiety? Anger? Mood Changes? I am here for you. I focus on creating a laid-back, empathetic, and empowering space no matter who walks through my door. You are the master of your life. I will identify your strengths to encourage problem solving to help work towards your goals.

Now accepting new patients. Choosing the right therapy is critical. I earned a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Iowa, where I completed 6 years of full-time education gaining expertise in evidence-based therapy. These therapies have been rigorously researched and repeatedly shown to produce the best outcomes for people just like you.

Accepting new clients on a limited basis. No matter where you are at on your therapy journey, I will provide you with unconditional positive regard and genuine encouragement. I promote an eclectic style and incorporate a person centered, strengths based approach. In addition to an appropriate blend of humor, my clients describe me as warm, empathetic, and very approachable about difficult subjects. I enjoy and pride myself on being a lifelong learner. I additionally have Iowa Board of Behavioral Sciences approval to provide clinical supervision/mentoring for therapists in the beginning stages of their career.

With over 25 years of social work experience, my empathetic approach compassionately and openly builds upon client strengths to foster a collaborative working relationship. I am a strong advocate and go the extra mile for my clients. Together, we can create positive change for you to meet your life goals. My clients describe me as “skilled, experienced, direct, and caring”. I comfortably address trauma, sexual abuse, domestic violence, depression, anxiety, life transitions, LGBTQ+, grief, and loss. I work well with individuals, adolescents, families, and couples.

My passion is helping people build healthy and meaningful lives. I am a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist trained by Dr. Patrick Carnes, the pioneer in the field of sex addiction. I have extensive experience working with individuals struggling with all forms of addictions and compulsive behaviors including: sex, pornography, drugs, alcohol, food, work, spending, codependent relationships, etc. I use Attachment-Focused EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and Lifespan Integration to help people become free from underlying relational/attachment wounds.

Do you find yourself staring at the mirror comparing yourself to others, questioning the decisions you’re making, and experiencing fearful thinking about how to make change or the idea of change itself? Your world is full of chaos that whirls more out of control each day and the more you try to hold on the more difficult it seems to keep your grip. Like your body isn’t able to support you or keep up with you- creating fear, anxiety, and other feelings you can’t even begin to describe. Like the mirror in front of you is cracking in a million directions and you don’t know how to fix the image of the person standing in front of you.

I am the program coordinator and lead psychotherapist for the Intensive Outpatient Program at Unity Point Finley Hospital. As a therapist, I strive to create a supportive and nonjudgmental space where we are able to identify problems that are interfering with your ability to live your best life and work towards change that is important to you and in line with what you value. My approach is built on compassion, care and respect for the experiences and identities that make you who you are. I bring humor, warmth, sincerity, and a calm presence to the therapeutic environment.

Are you struggling in your significant relationships? Are you seeking therapy for your family? If so, I can help! I offer marriage, couples and family therapy. Therapy with me will include various exercises to improve your communication with your significant other and or family, as well as bring humor, fun and passion back into your partnerships. Family therapy can include various people in your life; i.e. your significant other, children, step children, parents, aunts, uncles, friends, business partner, co workers, etc, !Please note, as of June 1, 2023, I will only be accepting private pay for marriage/couples/family therapy!

A genuine and trusting relationship is the most important part of the therapy process. I’m here to provide you with a safe and compassionate space to explore your emotions, thoughts and experiences. I aim to meet you wherever you're at and together we can work towards achieving the goals you set, at the pace that works best for you.

Your life can transform through connection. I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families to realize their fullest potential through exploring the depth of connection. Helping individuals from childhood to adulthood to become securely connected and committed to self, others, and society is the foundation of my practice.

I take into account the whole person (mind/body/spirit) and provide a non-judgmental approach to therapy. Together we will focus on finding and resolving the factors that are at the root of your mental health symptoms. These symptoms are often natural responses/adaptations to stressful life circumstances and traumatic experiences. From this perspective, these psychological parts become imbalanced over time and can get stuck in the past. Once they are properly integrated in the here-and-now, we can begin to live a life that is true to our purpose and in alignment with our highest selves.

The client-therapist relationship is one of the most valuable elements of therapy. It is my pleasure to get to know each individual I work with and to form a relationship that allows them to feel supported and understood - there is such power in being heard. I like to collaborate with clients to brainstorm ways for them to achieve their goals in a realistic and attainable way, by highlighting each client's strengths, resilience and resources. I do my best to offer support wherever you are in your journey through life.

Are you so busy doing everything you SHOULD do that you don't have a moment for yourself? Do you "have it all" but feel like something is missing? Or are you struggling to find some direction in life? No matter where you are on your journey, I would be honored to accompany you on your path to a life filled with purpose and meaning. Whether you suffer from depression or anxiety, grief or loss, relationship challenges, or you just feel overwhelmed with all the demands of life, I can help you attain a sense of peace and serenity.

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with varied experiences covering all ages and many conditions. I entered the field of helping others in 2003 as a Chemical Dependency Counselor. I have since worked with troubled adolescents of varied backgrounds in a residential setting; the Chronically Mentally Ill in a community supported living program. I also have extensive Crisis Management experience. I have experience working with substance abuse, depression, anxiety, anger management, social anxiety, sexual trauma, combat trauma, family relationships, physical abuse, and behavior problems.

Accepting adults- We get the message from others to “suck it up, things will get better”. But, do we really trust them things will be ok? We have big emotions, intrusive thoughts, and body sensations that can be fucking scary. Yet, we hide that and push them way down deep and hope it doesn’t bubble up. Having emotions and thoughts and sensations are NORMAL, and healthy. But that can add an extra layer of shit when you are already dealing with your identities, relationships, stressors, or maybe you are AFAB trying to navigate menopause and feel like you're losing your mind! Don't do it alone, I'm here to explore with you.
