Great to meet you!

Dr. Mehrit Tekeste is a licensed clinical psychologist and PSYPACT provider offering virtual therapy in 40+ states. She supports teens and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, identity, and life transitions. Her approach is collaborative, culturally attuned, and grounded in evidence-based care.

My approach to therapy

I offer both in-person and virtual services, with a special focus on:

  • Anxiety, depression, and stress
  • Grief, loss, and trauma (childhood & relational)
  • Multicultural identity and intergenerational trauma
  • Family conflict and major life changes
  • ADHD and executive functioning

My approach is collaborative, culturally attuned, and grounded in evidence-based therapies like CBT, ACT, and DBT. I strive to create a space where your experiences, values, and background are honored, and where healing feels possible.

What you can expect from me

Taking the first step toward healing can be a courageous decision, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.
