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!

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.

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 Therapist in Frederick
Finding the right psychiatrist in Frederick, MD starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and monitor how that medication is working over time. If you're looking for support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or another mental health concern, a qualified healthcare professional can help determine what type of care may be appropriate for your needs. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can also prescribe and manage medication and are another option available through Headway.
With many mental health providers practicing across Frederick County — from downtown Frederick to Urbana, Walkersville, and beyond — narrowing your search can take time. Consider what matters most to you, whether that's a provider who specializes in a specific condition, offers virtual appointments, or sees patients in person nearby. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before you book.
Psychiatry in Frederick can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session, though costs vary based on your location and exact insurance coverage. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a psychiatrist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
