Kelly Huggins

Kelly Huggins

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Frederick, 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!

Christopher Carr

Christopher Carr

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Frederick, MD


I am a therapist based in Maryland, dedicated to helping Maryland individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges and build meaningful skills for growth. My path to this work began with a belief in the importance of accessible, evidence-based care for anyone seeking support—whether during difficult times or as part of personal development.


I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work and Psychology from UMBC in 2015 and a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Maryland, Baltimore in 2016. My professional experience includes supporting individuals with developmental disabilities, working with transitional-age youth, providing outpatient therapy in community mental health, and serving Veterans through the VA. These diverse roles shaped my therapeutic style, which is compassionate, practical, and results-oriented.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, and sleep difficulties, with advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), and other evidence-based treatments. I also have extensive experience supporting LGBTQ+ clients and survivors of trauma.


In therapy, I strive to create a safe and collaborative environment where clients feel understood and empowered. My approach is evidence-based and goal-directed, while always tailored to each person’s needs. Therapy can be a place not only to work through challenges but also to build skills, strengthen resilience, and foster long-term growth.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to make that first step feel a little easier. I approach my work with warmth, compassion, and genuine curiosity about each person’s story. I support clients in gently unpacking the thoughts and experiences that may be contributing to anxiety and depression, while offering empathy and practical tools along the way. You don’t have to navigate this alone—we’ll work through it together.
