Get to know Kal Zeryihun
Hello and welcome! I am a licensed therapist, certified integrative mental health provider, and founder of CreateWellness. It is my intention for your therapy sessions to have significant and lasting value to you.
​
I provide evidenced-based and emerging neuroscience based treatments 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, whether normative or nonnormative.
​
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 based on 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.
​
In addition to my clinical work, I have a deep interest and commitment to community and environmental wellbeing. In my personal time, I enjoy writing poetry, seeking attention from my cats, camping, spending time with people I love - preferably while eating yummy foods, and walking where there are more trees than I can count.
