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, including childhood and relational trauma
  • 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, including CBT, ACT, and DBT. I’m also fortunate to have a team of licensed clinicians who offer additional areas of expertise, including EMDR, domestic violence counseling, and autism-related support.

At CenterPeace Psychology, we strive to create a welcoming space where you feel heard and understood, and where your experiences, values, and background are honored. Our hope is to help you feel supported as you navigate life’s challenges and find a path toward healing and growth.

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.
