Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Annapolis, MD

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!

I have been practicing as a licensed therapist for 10 years and specialize in helping people reclaim their lives by healing from the pain of trauma, anxiety, and depression. I am trained as a clinical mental health counselor with additional specializations in play therapy and trauma focused work. I work with all populations from preteen into adulthood.

My name is Dr. Michael Nwandu. Dedicated, highly motivated psychiatric nurse practitioner, I have a wide range of medication management experience across the lifespan, including ADHD, eating disorders, substance use disorders, OCD, mood disorders, and personality disorders. I believe successful medication management is based on open communication between you and me. Strong focus on listening to you, addressing your concerns, and answering all your questions.

With multiple years of experience in mental health, when medication is indicated, I believe it is best to start low and go slow. I work closely with therapists as I focus on medication management to treat children, adolescents, and adults with a variety of mental health disorders.

Hello, I am a board-certified psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing telehealth mental health care for adults and elderly. I have 13 years of experience inpatient/outpatient working with individuals experiencing mental health crisis such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar d/o (mood changes), Psychotic disorders (thought changes), OCD, and PTSD, post- partum depression, stress and life transitions. I know that starting treatment can feel intimidating, so I focus on creating a comfortable, supportive, and non- judgmental space where you can talk openly about your concerns.

I believe mental health care should be personalized. Everyone’s experience is different, and I take time to listen and understand what you are going through before recommending treatment. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and confident in your care.
