Meresiet Kidane

Hi, I’m Meresiet Kidane, LCSW-C, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of experience. I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Social Work. I earned my masters degree from University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB). Throughout my career, I’ve worked in child welfare, behavioral health, and medical social work, helping adults navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, grief, relationship concerns, and chronic illness using evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and person-centered care.

I believe therapy should be a safe, supportive, and collaborative space where you feel heard and empowered. My approach is compassionate, strengths-based, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we’ll identify your goals, build practical coping skills, and create lasting change using evidence-based techniques that help you move forward with confidence.

Our first session is about getting to know one another and determining whether we’re a good fit to work together. We’ll explore what brings you to therapy, identify your strengths and current challenges, and discuss what you hope to achieve. Together, we’ll begin creating meaningful goals and a personalized plan to support your healing, growth, and overall well-being.
