Supporting the Houston Heights Community, One Family at a Time
Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming.
There are hundreds of therapists in Houston, each with different specialties, approaches, and personalities. How do you know who is the right fit for you or your family?
At Heights Family Counseling, we believe therapy should never be one size fits all. Every person walks through our doors with a unique story, which is why we've intentionally built a team of clinicians with diverse specialties and expertise to meet people wherever they are in life.
For more than a decade, we've had the privilege of serving the Houston Heights, Garden Oaks, Oak Forest, Timbergrove, Memorial, Memorial, and families throughout the greater Houston area. Whether you're navigating anxiety, parenting, relationship challenges, ADHD, trauma, or major life transitions, our goal is simple: to provide compassionate, evidence based care that helps people heal, grow, and thrive.
Therapy for Children and Teens
Children don't always have the words to explain what they're feeling.
Sometimes anxiety looks like stomachaches before school. Sometimes ADHD looks like frustration or low self esteem. Sometimes grief, divorce, or trauma show up through behavior rather than conversation.
Our child and teen therapists specialize in helping young people understand their emotions, develop healthy coping skills, and build confidence. We also believe parents are an essential part of the healing process, so we partner with families every step of the way.
We also know that children don't grow in isolation. That's why we offer parent coaching to help caregivers better understand their child's behavior, strengthen connection, and learn practical strategies they can use at home. Whether you're navigating anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation, or challenging behaviors, we work alongside parents because lasting change often happens outside the therapy office.
Play Therapy
Children naturally communicate through play.
Play therapy allows children to express emotions, process difficult experiences, and develop problem solving skills in a way that feels safe and developmentally appropriate.
Whether a child is experiencing anxiety, behavioral challenges, ADHD, life transitions, or emotional regulation difficulties, play therapy can help them process experiences that are often difficult to put into words.
Psychological and Educational Evaluations
Sometimes the most important step isn't beginning therapy. It's gaining clarity.
Whether a child is struggling in school, a teen is wondering if ADHD is playing a role, or an adult has spent years asking, "Why has this always felt harder for me?" a comprehensive evaluation can provide meaningful answers.
Our practice offers psychological, psychoeducational, and diagnostic evaluations for children, teens, and adults. Assessments can help identify concerns such as ADHD, learning differences, autism spectrum disorder, anxiety, intellectual giftedness, and other emotional or cognitive factors that may be impacting daily life.
An evaluation is more than a diagnosis. It's an opportunity to better understand strengths, challenges, and the supports that will help someone thrive. Our goal is to provide clear, individualized recommendations that empower families, schools, and individuals to move forward with confidence.
EMDR Therapy for Trauma and Anxiety
Trauma doesn't always come from one major event.
Sometimes it's years of chronic stress, difficult relationships, loss, or experiences that leave our nervous systems feeling stuck.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence based therapy that helps the brain process distressing memories so they become less emotionally overwhelming.
Our clinicians use EMDR to help clients heal from trauma, anxiety, grief, panic attacks, and many other experiences that continue to affect daily life.
LENS Neurofeedback
The brain has an incredible ability to adapt and change.
LENS (Low Energy Neurofeedback System) is one of the newest services we've added because we saw the potential it had to complement traditional therapy.
Many clients seek LENS to support nervous system regulation, anxiety, attention, emotional regulation, stress recovery, sleep, or overall brain health.
Because every nervous system is different, treatment is individualized and adjusted based on each person's unique response.
Couples Therapy
Relationships are hard, even the healthiest ones.
Whether you're feeling disconnected, struggling with communication, rebuilding trust, navigating parenting together, or preparing for marriage, couples therapy can help strengthen your relationship.
Our clinicians are trained in approaches including the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), helping couples build stronger communication, deeper emotional connection, and healthier patterns that last beyond the therapy room.
Co-Parenting Counseling
Parenting after separation or divorce can be one of life's biggest challenges.
Our co parenting counseling services help parents improve communication, reduce conflict, and create healthier, more consistent environments for their children. Whether you're navigating a recent separation or have been co parenting for years, our therapists help families focus on what matters most, supporting children's emotional wellbeing while reducing unnecessary stress for everyone involved.
Men's Mental Health
Many men spend years carrying responsibilities for everyone else before taking care of themselves.
We provide a space where men can openly discuss anxiety, stress, work life balance, fatherhood, relationships, sports performance, burnout, life transitions, and personal growth without judgment.
Therapy isn't about weakness.
It's about having the tools to become the healthiest version of yourself.
ADHD Support Across the Lifespan
ADHD affects far more than attention.
It influences executive functioning, relationships, emotional regulation, organization, motivation, and self confidence.
Whether you're seeking support for your child, teenager, college student, or yourself as an adult, our clinicians understand how ADHD impacts everyday life and help clients develop practical strategies that actually work.
Social Skills and Self Esteem Groups
Sometimes children and teens benefit from learning alongside peers who are facing similar challenges.
Throughout the year, we offer groups designed to help young people build confidence, strengthen communication skills, develop friendships, and practice emotional regulation in a supportive environment.
Our social skills and self esteem groups provide opportunities to learn, grow, and connect in ways that complement individual therapy while helping participants gain confidence both in and outside the group setting.
Support Through Perimenopause and Menopause
Hormonal transitions can affect every aspect of a woman's life.
Mood changes, anxiety, sleep disruption, brain fog, irritability, grief over changing identity, and shifting relationships are all common experiences during perimenopause and menopause.
Our therapists provide compassionate support for women navigating this season of life while recognizing the emotional, relational, and physical changes that often accompany it.
Chronic Illness and Chronic Pain Support
Living with a chronic illness or persistent pain affects so much more than your physical health.
It can change your relationships, your identity, your career, your confidence, and even the way you experience everyday life. Many people find themselves grieving the life they expected while trying to adjust to a new normal that others may not fully understand.
Our therapists provide compassionate support for individuals living with chronic medical conditions, autoimmune disorders, chronic pain, migraines, POTS, Long COVID, cancer, infertility, and other ongoing health challenges. We help clients navigate the emotional impact of illness, manage anxiety and stress, cope with uncertainty, and rediscover ways to build a meaningful life alongside their health journey.
We believe your symptoms are real, your experience matters, and you shouldn't have to carry the emotional weight of chronic illness alone.
Individual Therapy
Sometimes life simply becomes overwhelming.
Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, perfectionism, grief, relationship struggles, burnout, parenting stress, or major life transitions, individual therapy offers a space to slow down, gain perspective, and build the skills needed to move forward with confidence.
Our goal isn't simply symptom reduction.
It's helping people build lives that feel meaningful, connected, and authentic.
Rooted in the Houston Heights Community
Heights Family Counseling began in a small art studio in Houston with a simple vision: to create a practice where people feel genuinely known, supported, and cared for.
Today, we've grown into a collaborative team of clinicians serving children, teens, adults, couples, and families across the Houston Heights, Garden Oaks, Oak Forest, Timbergrove, Memorial, and surrounding Houston communities.
We believe healing happens in relationships.
Whether you're looking for support for yourself, your child, your marriage, or your family, we're honored every time someone trusts us with their story.
If you're ready to take the next step, we'd love to help you find the therapist who is the best fit for your unique needs. Because finding the right connection is often the first step toward meaningful change.
