About Heights Family Counseling
Real people. Meaningful connections. Counseling that meets you where you are.
At Heights Family Counseling, we believe everyone deserves a place where they feel understood, supported, and genuinely cared for.
Whether you're a parent looking for answers about your child's development, a couple struggling to reconnect, or an adult trying to navigate everything life has thrown your way, we're here to help.
Founded by Dr. Amy Rollo, Heights Family Counseling was built on the belief that great therapy starts with genuine relationships. We wanted to create something different. A counseling practice that feels warm and welcoming, where clients aren't just another appointment on the calendar, and where our therapists truly care about the individuals and families they serve.
Today, HFC has grown into a team of mental health professionals serving children, teens, adults, couples, and families throughout Houston and San Antonio.
Our therapists bring different specialties, backgrounds, and approaches, but share the same commitment to providing thoughtful, compassionate, and individualized care.
We believe in looking at the whole person. That means understanding not just the symptoms someone is experiencing, but their relationships, family dynamics, strengths, experiences, and the things that matter most to them.
Because therapy isn't about changing who you are. It's about helping you better understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, and build a life that feels more fulfilling.
What Makes Heights Family Counseling Different?
We know there are a lot of options when it comes to finding a therapist. We also know that finding the right fit can make all the difference.
At Heights Family Counseling, we pride ourselves on offering more than a place to talk. We provide individualized, thoughtful care that considers the whole person and the relationships that shape their life.
A Team of Specialized Therapists
Our clinicians have experience working with a wide range of concerns, including childhood anxiety, ADHD, autism, relationship difficulties, trauma, depression, parenting challenges, and major life transitions.
With therapists who bring different areas of expertise, we work to connect clients with someone who understands their particular needs.
A Family Systems Perspective
We believe individuals don't exist in isolation. Our relationships, family experiences, and environments all influence our emotional well being.
Whether we're helping a child navigate anxiety, supporting parents through difficult behaviors, or working with a couple struggling to reconnect, we consider the bigger picture.
Comprehensive Psychological and Educational Evaluations
Sometimes families need more than counseling. They need answers.
Our evaluation services help children, adolescents, and adults better understand their cognitive, emotional, developmental, and academic functioning.
We specialize in comprehensive evaluations for ADHD, autism, dyslexia, learning differences, and other concerns.
We believe an evaluation should do more than identify a diagnosis. It should help families understand strengths, challenges, and practical ways to move forward.
Research Supported Therapy With a Personal Touch
Our therapists use a variety of therapeutic approaches based on each client's needs, including play therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, the Gottman Method, and Emotionally Focused Therapy.
We believe effective treatment should be grounded in clinical knowledge while remaining warm, collaborative, and deeply human.
A Place Where You Can Be Yourself
You don't have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy.
We want our offices to be places where you can show up exactly as you are, feel comfortable asking questions, and know that you're genuinely supported.
Meet Our Founder and Team
Heights Family Counseling was founded by Dr. Amy Rollo, a Licensed Psychological Associate with Independent Practice, Licensed School Psychologist, and Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor with a doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy.
Amy founded Heights Family Counseling with a vision of creating a practice where clients could receive exceptional clinical care while feeling genuinely known, supported, and understood.
What began as a passion for helping individuals and families has grown into a team of therapists serving the Houston and San Antonio communities.
Our team includes clinicians with a variety of specialties, backgrounds, and therapeutic approaches. We believe that finding the right therapist is an important part of the counseling process, and we work to connect each client with someone who understands their individual needs.
While our therapists bring different areas of expertise, we share a common philosophy: therapy should feel collaborative, compassionate, and personal.
We love what we do, we genuinely care about the people we work with, and we believe meaningful relationships are at the heart of effective therapy.

Why should I consider therapy?
Why therapy??? Because you matter; your emotions matter; your quality of life matters. Our therapy team believes is that everyone deserves a place to process emotions, get clarity, and have some space to work through life's difficult moments. Whether you are hoping for support for a child, relationship, or personal difficulties, we are here. In particular, we work with high-functioning, high-achievers who are looking to get more out of life. We find that therapy is for EVERYONE.
How long does therapy usually take?
Therapy lasts however long you want it to. While many clients tell us after one session, "wow that felt good" or "I feel better already," we believe that therapy is a process and a journey. So, it can be ongoing or happen when you are needing extra support. For many, therapy lasts for years, and for others, after 6 sessions they feel ready to end the process.
What should I look for in a therapist?
The relationship you have with your therapist is the main predictor of success in counseling. We encourage you to read our therapy teams’ bios and see who you think you will connect with. We use different therapy treatment, so think about if you want someone who is directive or non-directive, trauma-focused, relationship-focused, etc. We offer free 15-minute consultations to help match you with the right fit for you.
Can I just take medication to treat my mental health concerns?
Medication is often one tool in helping with mental health. Research shows that medication plus psychotherapy is most effective. While medication can help the symptoms, psychotherapy can help understand and express emotions, provide tools for self-care, and help give support and clarity in life.
Do you prescribe psychiatric medication?
We do not prescribe medication, but we regularly work with your medication provider for collaborative care.
Will I need to do work outside of counseling sessions?
The great thing about therapy is you don't HAVE to do anything. However, your therapists will often provide homework to help support your relationship or your own journey outside of session times. If this is helpful, your therapists will continue; however, if you find this process not supportive, let your therapist know and they can adapt to whatever your needs are or process those feelings in session.
