Trina was my first BetterHelp.com therapist, and I liked her right away. She is a great listener, and is also encouraging and helpful. I've been seeing her weekly, biweekly, monthly...and all of it has been so helpful.

Trina is caring and understanding but tough when she needs to be. She approaches my concerns and issues from different directions and always has a good perspective. I stopped therapy for a while but after the holidays wanted to get back to it and was happy to return to Trina.

Welcome!
My name is Trina Dow. I am a multi ethnic art psychotherapist and licensed professional counselor who has been working with adults of all ages for many years to address general life concerns, coping with mental health issues, acute and chronic trauma, identity concerns and substance abuse.
In addition to academic training as a creative arts therapist, I’ve had over thirty years of continuing professional training in client centered techniques, cognitive and dialectical behavior techniques, motivational and positive psychology, trauma and change theory, LGBTQIA issues and concerns to name a few.
My goal as a therapist is to develop a collaborative relationship with my client. Together we work to identify your greatest areas of concern, to reduce stress and anxiety you may be experiencing and to help you build life-long techniques and strategies that will help you maintain a better sense of your health and well-being. Some areas where I have experience include:
Trauma, Acute Disaster and Addiction Recovery
Coping with Mental Illness
Sexual Assault and Abuse Survivorship
LGBTQIA concerns
Relationship concerns
Acknowledging that you want help with something you are struggling with is a big step. Reaching out to someone you do not know to ask for an open ear, a helping hand and a healing heart takes courage. Congratulations for deciding to take this leap of faith. I hope I can assist you in your journey.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
