Getting to know Patricia Palko

Hi, I’m Patricia, a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes that healing happens in a space where one feels genuinely seen, heard, and understood. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, OCD, trauma, PTSD, life transitions, grief, stress, and relationship challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I strive to create an environment where clients feel safe enough to be honest while also feeling empowered to grow. Together, we’ll identify patterns that keep you feeling stuck, build on your strengths, and develop meaningful strategies that support lasting change. As both a therapist and a parent, I understand that life can be complicated, overwhelming, and unpredictable. My goal is to meet you with compassion and help you move toward the life you want to create. Whether you’re seeking relief from anxiety, processing difficult experiences, or simply trying to understand yourself better, I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
