Introduction

I'm Dr. Mehrit Tekeste, a licensed clinical psychologist and founder of CenterPeace Psychology. I'm passionate about making mental health support feel approachable, accessible, and genuinely relevant to how you're actually living. I work with teenagers, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADD/ADHD, burnout, and life transitions, or simply feeling stuck and wanting things to feel different. My approach is rooted in research while honoring your unique context and needs. I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), family and marital therapy, and multicultural counseling to meet you where you are. Whether you're looking for practical tools to feel more grounded or space to process what's weighing on you, I'm here to help. I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions and accept several insurance plans as well as out-of-pocket payment. I'm currently accepting new clients. Sometimes the first step is simply having someone to talk to, I'm here to make that easier.
