Hi, I'm Kesta Medoit

Psychotherapist and Founder of Reset Wellness Center. And in my world, nothing is impossible. I believe that everyone has the potential to overcome most of their mental health challenges and I am here to help you unlock that potential. Finding the right therapist who can truly relate to your struggles and provide clinical insights and practical guidance can be challenging. That's why I am here to offer my support. I am trained to provide a range of evidence-based therapies and as a survivor of trauma, I provide a compassionate and trauma-informed approach to guide you through difficult times and help you transform your life. I am a nationally board-certified counselor, a certified Christian trauma care provider, a certified EMDR therapist and I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University. I am licensed to provide clinical mental health services in the state of Maryland and Florida. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or any other challenges caused by trauma, I am here to support you on your journey to healing and growth.

Interesting facts about me: I consider myself a third-culture kid. I grew up on three different continents (South America, Europe, and North America) and speak three different languages (English, French, and Haitian Kreyol). I am a proud Haitian descent and am culturally French, American, and Haitian. I am passionate about fighting against the stigma of mental health challenges, especially within the Haitian, Black, and Christian communities, and set people free from emotional and mental wounds through therapy, intensives, and retreats.

About my faith: I consider myself a non-denominational Christian, who do not subscribe to any -"isms", and whose personal and professional views are influenced by the teachings of Jesus. Counsel is my gift and this practice exists in response to prayers for direction and meaning. It is an honor to serve anyone through my practice (irrespective of one's background) who want to work with a therapist who 1) is holistic in her approach, 2) is devoted to accelerate your healing so you no longer need therapy to properly function, and 3) who won't give up helping you become free from the past and negative self-beliefs so you can live more meaningful and joyful lives.

My practice is particularly a good fit for Christians looking for a safe non-judgmental space to address and resolve their challenges through a Biblical lens.

How I can Help

Mental health challenges can arise from natural disasters, betrayal, bullying, abuse, violence, loss, or other distressing events. These events can leave lasting emotional and psychological scars that affect your sense of safety, connection, and purpose. The past may continue to haunt you, causing you to lose your peace of mind. Not addressing painful past experiences can lead to the development of many serious behavioral, physical, mental health, and relational issues. Despite this, there is hope, and a path forward.

As a Hopkins-trained therapist, I help people heal through evidence-based treatment personalized for your needs. My approach can help you:

- Process and resolve painful memories
- Regain emotional regulation and resilience
- Rebuild self-esteem and healthy relationships
- Release shame, fear or destructive patterns
- Rediscover meaning, joy and inner peace

My Approach

I have been fortunate enough to provide counseling services to clients from diverse backgrounds and cultures. My approach is welcoming, proactive, versatile, and collaborative, which has been appreciated by many of my clients.

I offer holistic and multicultural therapeutic services to adults, couples, and teenagers who are seeking purpose and meaning in their lives. Although I use a range of evidence-based therapies to facilitate change, healing, and transformation in my clients, my foundational skills come from my experience and training as a career coach, career counselor, and my Christian faith. These skills have helped me assist many of my clients in making progress and achieving change within a few months.

I will work closely with you to identify the cause of your problems, and help you develop new strategies and skills to live a purposeful life. As your therapist, my ultimate goal is to help you achieve optimal mental wellness and transform your life. However, my aim is also to empower and equip you to take control of your life so that you don't have to rely on therapy to live the life you deserve.

My Philosophy

Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach. It is a collaborative partnership between the client and the counselor to identify the root cause of the problems, the factors that sustain them, and the best strategies or coping skills to manage symptoms through activities and exercises.

When you work with me, we will develop a personalized plan based on your needs to help you achieve your goals. I use various techniques rooted in person-centered theory, mindfulness-based approaches, the Gottman method, cognitive-behavioral therapy, EMDR, psychodynamic, chaos theory, and solutions-focused therapy.

My ultimate goal is to help you regain control of your life, feel restored, and be empowered to reach your fullest potential by the end of our treatment together.
