Amy M. Nuttbrock, LICSW

Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker

Individual Therapist and Clinical Supervisor

I’m Amy. I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a deep respect for the courage it takes to reach out for support. I work with adults and adolescents who are navigating depression, anxiety, trauma (specifically sexual trauma), loss, or major life changes.

My style is warm, collaborative, and steady. I believe therapy is most healing when it feels safe enough for you to be fully yourself—when you can slow down, make sense of your experiences, and feel genuinely met rather than analyzed. Together, we work to understand not just what’s happening on the surface, but the patterns and emotions underneath that shape how you move through the world.

Much of how I work with people has also been shaped by years spent with horses. Horses teach attentiveness without urgency, presence without pressure. They respond not to force or explanation, but to steadiness, clarity, and calm. I bring that same quality of presence into my interactions with others: slow, watchful, and grounded. I pay close attention to subtle shifts—breath, posture, tone—trusting that safety is built not by pushing for change, but by creating the conditions in which it can emerge.

Over the years, I’ve supported people from many backgrounds and life paths. I’m attentive to culture, identity, and the stories that have shaped each person’s way of being. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and capable of growing toward a more grounded, connected version of yourself.

I welcome all individuals—of every race, gender, sexuality, ability, and belief system—with care and respect.

The roots of resilience...are to be found in the sense of being understood by and existing in the mind and heart of a loving, attuned, and self-possessed other.
