Dr. Mehrit Tekeste

Hi, I’m Dr. Mehrit Tekeste — a licensed clinical psychologist based in Maryland and a PSYPACT provider, offering virtual therapy across 30+ states. I specialize in supporting teens and adults as they navigate anxiety, trauma, identity challenges, and life transitions. My goal is to provide care that is not only accessible, but also deeply personalized and grounded in genuine connection.

I commonly help clients work through concerns such as:

-Anxiety, depression, and stress
-ADHD and executive functioning challenges
-Complex grief and loss
-Childhood and relational trauma
-Family dynamics and interpersonal conflict
-Bi- and multicultural identity development
-Intergenerational and racial/cultural trauma
-Major life transitions — graduating, “adulting,” moving, and more

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and rooted in evidence-based practices including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). I strive to create a space where your experiences, values, and cultural background are fully seen and honored — and where meaningful growth and healing feel possible.
