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!

Lauren Fahrney

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 23 mi away • Hagerstown, MD


With over a decade of experience in the healthcare field, I bring a strong foundation of clinical expertise and compassionate care. For eight years, I worked as a Med-Surg nurse, travel nurse, and cardiac nurse, gaining diverse experience across high-acuity settings and patient populations. The variety of roles allowed me to develop adaptability, resilience, and a deep understanding of both acute and chronic health conditions. It also allowed me to see the role mental health plays and the importance it holds.

For the past two years, I have been practicing as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), where I’ve focused on providing holistic, patient-centered care that addresses both mental and physical health.

This blend of medical-surgical and psychiatric experience equips me with a comprehensive perspective on patient care, allowing me to treat the whole person—not just the diagnosis.
