Kelly Huggins

Kelly Huggins

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • <1 mi away • 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!

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Frederick

Searching for therapists in Frederick starts with finding someone whose experience fits what you want to address. Therapists may support concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties, therapy approaches, and populations served in each therapist’s profile. Details like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or experience with adults, teens, or families can help you understand whether a therapist may be a strong fit.

Frederick has local therapy options across downtown, Urbana, Walkersville, and nearby communities, but availability may vary by schedule, specialty, and appointment format. Virtual therapy can expand your options beyond offices close to home or work while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Maryland. As you narrow your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointments that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can also help you learn how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Frederick can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find licensed therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your coverage, and view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can compare therapists, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
