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 their challenges and achieve their goals, 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, and I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University. I am licensed to provide mental health services in the state of Maryland under the supervision of Brande Thompson, LCPC. 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.
How I can Help
Trauma can take on various forms, arising from natural disasters, betrayal, bullying, abuse, violence, loss, or other distressing events. It 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. However, numerous research studies have shown that trauma 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 from the effects of trauma through evidence-based treatment personalized for your needs. My holistic and compassionate 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
You don't have to struggle alone anymore. Let me help you start your journey of post-traumatic growth today.
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, families, 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.
