Hello, I’m Kelly Huggins!
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with 30 years of nursing experience.
Because the world of mental health acronyms can be confusing, I like to be clear about my role: I am a specialized advanced practice nurse, not a traditional talk therapist. My primary focus is on medical and diagnostic care, featuring carefully tailored medication management. However, I firmly believe that medicine is only part of the puzzle. That is why supportive psychotherapy is deeply woven into our sessions together, alongside guidance on lifestyle changes to support your daily wellness. If you ever need deep, ongoing traditional therapy, I am always happy to connect you with trusted therapists to round out your care team.
When I’m not partnering with patients, I love being a mom, a wife, and an avid traveler exploring the world!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Germantown, MD
Finding psychiatrists in Germantown starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy. If you’re looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, psychiatry may be one part of your search. Review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, clinical background, and approach to medication management so you can choose someone aligned with the support you’re seeking.
Germantown has local psychiatry options, but appointment availability may vary across nearby areas like Middlebrook, Walnut Hill, and other parts of Montgomery County. Virtual appointments can expand your options if nearby in-person availability is limited or your schedule works better from home. Psychiatric appointments, including medication management visits, are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read psychiatrist bios to understand session structure, communication style, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Germantown can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, helps you confirm whether a listed psychiatrist is accepting new patients and in network with your plan, and shows an estimated cost before you book. You can compare profiles, review availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
