Ashley Hughes, PMHNP-FNP
Owner & Nurse Practitioner: Aligned Psychiatric Care, PLLC
Many people silently struggle with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, ADHD, insomnia, PTSD, OCD, or emotional instability while trying to keep life moving forward. If you feel exhausted, unfocused, or unlike yourself, meaningful relief is possible. My role differs from traditional therapy—I provide medical psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis, and thoughtful medication management within a calm, supportive environment where you feel heard, respected, and understood.
Seeking care is a meaningful first step, and I would be honored to support you in your path toward wellness.
Ashley specializes in helping with:
Psychiatric care and medication management
Children (starting at age 6)
Adolescents
Adults
Aging adults
Learn More about Ashley
With more than 20 years in healthcare and over a decade as a nurse practitioner, I bring deep clinical experience to psychiatric care. My background in intensive care and collaborative medical practice allows for careful assessment, safe prescribing, and whole-person consideration of both emotional and physical well-being.
I treat a range of mental health conditions in adolescents and adults using an evidence-based, personalized approach. Together, we focus on restoring stability, improving clarity and focus, and helping you feel more like yourself again—so you can move forward with confidence and lasting balance.
