Trina Zilla

Trina Zilla

Wellesley, MA
Psychologist, PSYD
Dr. Trina Zilla is a compassionate cognitive-behavioral psychologist dedicated to guiding clients through their emotional and mental health journeys. With expertise in understanding how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors, she works closely with individuals and couples to unravel automatic thoughts that often accompany emotions such as anxiety, sadness, frustration, and anger. Dr. Zilla recognizes that during times of distress, thoughts can become inaccurate and overly negative, and she empowers her clients to listen to these thoughts in order to replace them with more accurate and constructive alternatives. This transformative process leads to enhanced emotional control and increased overall happiness and life satisfaction. Specializing in marital and premarital issues, anxiety management, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), Dr. Zilla utilizes evidenced-based techniques such as Prolonged Exposure Therapy and Exposure and Response Prevention to help clients conquer fears and reduce OCD symptoms in a safe, supportive environment. Her approach encourages individuals to engage in meaningful problem-solving in the present moment, fostering healthier, thoughtful actions rather than reactive behaviors that may lead to further distress. Through her commitment to quality therapy, Dr. Zilla inspires clients to lead fulfilling, happier lives by helping them identify and objectively assess their thoughts and feelings.
