Insight. Healing. Growth.

Welcome - Glad You’re Here! 

Hi, I’m Dr. Mehrit Tekeste, owner of CenterPeace Psychology and a licensed clinical psychologist based in Maryland and a PSYPACT provider, offering virtual therapy to clients in over 40 states. I specialize in supporting teens and adults as they navigate:

-Anxiety & Stress Management -Depression & Existential Concerns -Trauma & PTSD -Grief & Loss -Identity Development & Life Transitions -Relationship & Family Challenges -Self-Esteem, Perfectionism & Shame -ADHD & Executive Functioning Challenges -Faith & Spirituality -Multicultural Identity & Cultural Adjustment

Through care that is collaborative, and deeply personalized.

What Guides Our Work

At the heart of our practice is the belief that meaningful change happens when you feel safe, understood, and supported. Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all, it should reflect your unique experiences, strengths, values, and goals.

We integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), while drawing from multicultural and family systems perspectives. We recognize that your identity, culture, relationships, and life experiences all influence how you navigate challenges and what healing looks like. Rather than relying on a single model, we thoughtfully tailor treatment to meet your individual needs, helping you build practical skills while fostering lasting growth and resilience.
