Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Frederick, MD

Neena specializes in mental health counseling, trauma therapy, and LGBTQIA+ affirming care. As a compassionate and client-centered clinician, she provides personalized support to help individuals overcome emotional and mental health challenges, fostering long-term growth and resilience.

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.

A nurse practitioner is a compassionate and understanding healthcare provider that works with others to help develop opportunities to aid in the overall quality of life in a person. I am a nurse practitioner that will listen and work with you in serving in the betterment of your mental health. I am here to help and guide you by offering safe medication recommendations that can help to reduce symptoms and help with communicating your feelings in psychotherapy. If you are on the fence about the concept of medications, I understand. The topic of medications can sometimes make one feel a little uneasy. I am here to offer education and answer questions that you may have- I am an advocate for you.

Life can quickly become overwhelming, often leaving us emotionally depleted and unable to cope effectively. In that state of mind, we can lose objectivity and compassion towards ourselves. My goal is to offer a safe place for you to express your feelings, and work together to promote self-exploration, identify damaging thoughts, implement coping strategies, and develop existing strengths for a healthier, happier you.

I’m Katie Silver, LCSW-C, the Founder of Silver Psychotherapy, with over 20 years of experience as a licensed clinician, business consultant, and mental health advocate.

As a leader in the mental health field, I am passionate about not only supporting our clients’ mental wellness but also empowering mental health professionals to grow. My work extends beyond clinical care—while I oversee practice management and business development at Silver Psychotherapy, I also offer business coaching for therapists, helping clinicians navigate private practice growth, leadership development, and ethical entrepreneurship.

In addition, I am an active mental health speaker and advocate, delivering interactive speaking engagements and workshops on topics within the area mental health, practice growth strategies, burnout prevention, and growing a healthy workplace. Whether you are seeking a dynamic speaker for a mental health conference, training for your team, or individual business coaching, I bring real-world experience as a clinician, wife, mother, daughter, and friend—grounding every session in compassion and practical insight.

Whether it’s your first time or you’ve been in therapy before, I’m glad you’re here! My hope is to create a safe, encouraging and oftentimes silly and sarcastic environment to partner with you in the next step of your story. I’m a licensed certified social worker – clinical and a psychotherapist. My time working as a psychotherapist in schools and the surrounding community has led me to become passionate in addressing and advocating for a person’s needs and strengths. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults to address a wide variety of concerns including trauma, life transitions, anxiety and depression.

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 work with people who are living with depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizo-affective disorder, adjustment disorder or are going through difficulties and need assistance moving towards a better way of life. I enjoy working with people to manage symptoms, stress and the everyday challenges of dealing with a mental health issue.

In my spare time I enjoy art, creativity, music, dance, acting and writing. I work with crystals, candles, oracle cards, but am also grounded in science. I do a lot of mindfulness.

I am a member of the MAMCD, the Maryland Association of Multicultural Counseling and Development as well as MASERVIC, the Maryland Association of Spiritual, Ethical, Religious Values in Counseling.
