Dealing with addiction, anxiety, depression, and life stressors isn’t easy. But with the help of a professional, healing and growth can be possible. My name is Riley Talko, and I’m a Clinical Mental Health Counselor with a passion for helping individuals overcome their struggles.
I earned my Master of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Florida Gulf Coast University, along with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology with a minor in Gender Studies. My professional journey began working in substance use counseling, where I conducted individual and group therapies, including relapse prevention, medical-assisted therapy, and substance use education group therapy.
I understand that every person is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to counseling. That’s why I take an integrative approach tailored to everyone’s specific needs. Using client-centered approaches, I focus on strengths to create a safe and comfortable environment for growth and healing.
In addition to addiction and depression, I also help patients navigate sexuality and related concerns. My goal is to help you identify and overcome obstacles, develop coping skills, and achieve personal growth.
As a part of Therapy Treatment Team, I am committed to providing personalized and effective solutions for lasting recovery. Our core values align with my personal and professional values, including empathy, collaboration, and a commitment to helping individuals reach their full potential. I am dedicated to creating a warm and supportive environment for my clients, where they can feel comfortable sharing their struggles and working towards healing and growth.
If you’re ready to take the first step towards a happier and healthier life, let’s work together.
