Amy Rollo, M.A., LSSP, LPA, LPC-S

As a counselor, I understand the bravery it takes to be completely vulnerable with another individual. My role in the counseling room is to meet you right where you are with respect, compassion, and non-judgement. I find it a privilege to journey with a client.

There is something empowering about feeling completely seen and heard and being met with empathy and understanding. My approach is warm and down-to-earth, meeting each client with compassion and support. My expertise is working with individuals experiencing life stressors, including determining values and finding meaning and purpose in life, work-life balance, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, parenthood, family stress, and the ending of a relationship. I believe we all have a reason for how we got to where we are in life. The narratives we tell ourselves shape our identities. My approach is to help you understand new perspectives, gain control of your life, and envision a new future.

Relationships are such an important part of our life. When going well, they provide love, support, and mutual happiness. When relationships struggle, sometimes it seems like everything in our life is struggling. I have a relaxed style when working with couples. I find it a privilege to enter a couple's personal and private world in order to change negative cycles and help to understand each other's perspectives. Together, we find a way to strengthen the relationship, speak each other's love language, heal through past pains, thrive through conflict, build mutual admiration and friendship, and communicate more effectively. I believe that every couple has the ability to work towards a loving and fulfilling relationship. In order to introduce change in your relationship, I use a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Gottman Couples Therapy (Completed all 3 Levels), IMAGO Relationship Therapy, Solution Focused, and other attachment based theories, such as Emotion Focused Couples Therapy. In addition to comprehensive training in couples modalities, I am extensively trained in working with couples who have experienced trauma and affairs as well as couples who struggle with addiction. I have completed the Gottman Treating Affairs and Trauma training intensive, as well as the Couples and Addiction Recovery.

Additionally, I have extensive experience in Psychoeducational, AD/HD and Autism Spectrum Disorder Evaluations. I have specialized in evaluation services for over 15 years and have worked along side medical doctors, speech pathologists, diagnosticians, licensed counselors, and psychologists. My experience has allowed me to see a problem through multiple lenses and not just to focus in one area. I believe with a comprehensive evaluation, strengths can identified and early intervention can be provided. 

When I am not in session, I enjoy spending time with my family. I have 2 children, a husband of 16 years and 2 chocolate labs… Well, one dog was sold as a chocolate lab; however, science and his long ears tell us he is mostly hound dog. I’m a huge believer in the value of experiences. You will find me spending my time running, enjoying spin classes, enjoying wines, novice family bike rides, playing tennis, spending time on any beach, cuddles with my kids, traveling the world, and checking out all the dining options in the city!
