Licensed Professional Counselor

Hello, my name is Toria Palko and I am a mental health therapist at our Meadowlands clinic. I believe in creating a space for individuals to feel seen, supported, and safe to explore their inner world. I support adolescents and adults, and I have a strong background-and a genuine passion- for working with older adults.

I specialize in supporting adults who are navigating mood disorders, severe mental illness, and the challenges that come with major life transitions or moments of crisis. My approach blends compassion with evidence-based tools from CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing. I aim to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and feel more grounded.

No matter what someone is facing, I offer a space where they feel supported and empowered to move toward healing at their own pace. If you are considering therapy, I want you to know you don’t have to navigate things alone. You deserve care that feels safe, compassionate, and attuned to you.I am looking forward to helping you to reach your goals and thrive!
