Get to know Kal Zeryihun

Hello and welcome! I am a licensed therapist and certified integrative mental health provider. It is my intention for your therapy sessions to have significant and lasting value to you.
​
I provide treatment to individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions including those struggling with experiences of single incident and complex trauma. I work with individuals from all walks of life and lifestyles.
​
I value mental health care that is more than symptom reduction. My emphasis is on human flourishing and helping you build and maintain a meaningful life grounded in your values. I use a mind and body integrated approach to healing, such as increasing awareness of the gut-brain connection and incorporating mindfulness practices along with traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you improve your mental health using more of the pathways your body naturally heals itself.
​​
Outside of my clinical work, I have a deep appreciation for storytelling - whether through the imagined worlds of science fiction and fantasy, or through real-life narratives of struggle, resilience, and everything in between. In my personal time, I enjoy writing poetry, which is my way of telling stories. I also enjoy camping, seeking attention from my cats, spending time with people I love - preferably while eating yummy foods, and walking where there are more trees than I can count.
