Hi, I’m Dr. Mehrit Tekeste, a licensed clinical psychologist based in Maryland and a PSYPACT provider. I offer virtual therapy in 40+ states and in-person sessions locally. I work with adolescents (10+), teens, and adults, with a special focus on: anxiety, trauma, depression, multicultural identity, major life changes, ADHD, and executive functioning. My approach is warm, culturally responsive, and tailored to each person’s unique needs. At the heart of my work is a deep commitment to helping clients feel truly seen, understood, supported, and empowered throughout their healing journey.
I take a collaborative and evidence-based approach to therapy, drawing from CBT, ACT, multicultural counseling, and family systems. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply need space to process, I can help you explore what’s getting in the way and what progress could look like for you.
Reaching out for support can sometimes feel like a big step. Whether you're navigating a challenging time or simply looking for guidance and clarity, you're not alone. I'm here to listen without judgment and to work collaboratively with you at your pace. If you're considering taking the next step, I invite you to reach out.
