Hi, I'm Dr. Riley Benko
I have had the pleasure of working with a diverse range of individuals from across the lifespan over the past several years, providing individual therapy, couples therapy, and psychological testing.
I take pride in my ability to connect meaningfully with people while also offering evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT, including for psychosis) and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT).
NOTE: At this time, Dr. Benko maintains only a small, part-time caseload and is currently accepting adults looking for supportive teletherapy or individuals looking for psychological assessment.
My Background
I currently work primarily in an inpatient psychiatric hospital and have an extensive history in assessing and treating adults with severe mental illnesses, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. I also have years of outpatient mental health experience, treating children, adolescents, and adults with a broad range of presenting concerns, including mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, interpersonal challenges, and life adjustments.
When I find free time, I can be found painting or hopelessly rooting for the Chicago Bears.
