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.

Jorge Dionisio

Jorge Dionisio

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 12 mi away • Cabin John, MD


I believe that there is a common thread across all therapy approaches, which is why I draw from various methods during our sessions. I was born in Brazil and my education was shaped in the U.S. I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of Maryland College Park, where I completed about 160 credits, and later graduated with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Maryland Baltimore. I’m a licensed practitioner, authorized to provide psychotherapy in the state of Maryland. One concept that stayed with me from my studies is Dr. Daniel Siegel’s idea of the mind, body, and brain being interconnected. Over the past 10 years of practice, my approach has evolved, and I now specialize in Internal Family Systems (IFS). This approach teaches that instead of having just one persona, we all have multiple parts of ourselves, none of which are “bad.” When we work together, you’ll quickly learn that every part of you deserves care and understanding.

Kelly Huggins

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 22 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!
