Introduction

Hi, I’m Dr. Mehrit Tekeste — a licensed clinical psychologist based in Maryland and a PSYPACT provider, offering virtual therapy across 30+ states.

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.
