Getting to know Donna Trimm
I offer holistic, integrative mental health treatment backed by solid and reputable research. I blend mindful cognitive behavioral therapy and writing therapy with education on nutrition, exercise, meditation, and supplements. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Columbia University and have trained with David Kessler in grief counseling, enabling me to help bring clarity and hope to the misery of bereavement.
What should a new client know about working with you?
If you are tired of quick assessments and even quicker diagnoses and would like to feel fully heard and validated before being categorized, we may be a good fit. My ideal client is ready to try a more nontraditional mental health approach that starts with understanding the connection between mental, physical, and spiritual health. We will work together to uncover root causes, from childhood trauma to the grief of loss that invariably accompanies age. Instead of simply numbing the pain, we will do real work to understand, confront, and bring justice to old wounds and new conflicts, moving toward a deeper and more lasting wellness.
Life can be overwhelming, and it can be difficult to know what's causing so much turmoil when we are in the middle of the storm. Through therapy, we will do work worth doing - separating overlapping issues and connecting causes to effects. Let's work together toward wellness through secure online video, phone counseling, or text messaging.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
As a member of the International Expressive Arts Therapy Association, I utilize multiple forms of expressive arts therapy, specializing in writing therapy.
I treat grief and bereavement using a psychoeducational approach followed by expressive arts therapy projects to help your brain organize and give voice to the pain and chaos that results from loss. I also use holistic and integrative methods to treat anxiety and depression, equipping you with tools for life. My clients consistently marvel at how much lighter the weight is after getting help.
I believe in Maya Angelou's famous statement, "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better." Together, we will learn what "better" means for each individual, and how to go about doing it.

Don’t see your insurance?
It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $130 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $130 for 60 minutes
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
