Joyce Bilski

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Elkton, MD


Welcome! As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I believe that prioritizing mental health is one of the most important investments you can make in your overall well-being, happiness, and quality of life. Taking the first step to seek help can be difficult, so I want to commend you for being here.

I bring over 20 years of healthcare experience, including 18 years working as a nurse in mental health and substance use treatment and the past 3 years as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. My practice focuses primarily on psychiatric evaluation and medication management, helping individuals find safe, effective treatment options tailored to their unique needs and goals.

I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD, anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders. I understand that finding the right medication can sometimes feel overwhelming, and I work closely with my patients to develop personalized treatment plans, monitor progress, manage side effects, and make thoughtful adjustments along the way. My goal is to help you achieve meaningful symptom improvement while optimizing your overall quality of life.

In addition to my psychiatric training, I am an IAPAM Certified Weight Management Provider and a Certified Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Provider. This additional expertise allows me to recognize the important connection between mental health, physical health, sleep, hormones, and overall wellness, ensuring a comprehensive approach to care when appropriate.

My goal is to help you gain symptom relief, improve daily functioning, and develop a sustainable path toward long-term emotional wellness and stability.

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!

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 an Anxiety Therapist in Annapolis, MD

Searching for therapists in Annapolis starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, work stress, or a life transition. As you compare therapists, look for specialties, training, and therapy styles that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Annapolis has a smaller local therapy market than larger Maryland cities, so virtual therapy can help expand your options while keeping care tied to your schedule. You may prefer an in-person office near Downtown, West Annapolis, Eastport, or another part of the city, or you may want the flexibility of virtual sessions from home. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist structures sessions and communicates with the people they support.

Therapy in Annapolis can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can search for Annapolis therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review profiles, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
