Kimberly Braden

CRNP-PMH

Kimberly Braden is a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner caring for patients across the lifespan. She provides consultation, evaluation and ongoing treatment for children, adolescents, and adults. She started her journey into nursing at Frederick Community College then worked in a medical hospital setting while working towards her bachelor’s degree at Frostburg State University. Before graduation she transferred to be a floor nurse in an in-patient psychiatric unit as well as in an intensive outpatient setting. She also served as a Forensic Nurse Examiner, which gave her a keen interest in helping those who have had their lives uprooted by abuse or trauma. She continued at Frostburg State for her Master of Science in Nursing to achieve her goal of becoming a provider for those she saw as most in need. After graduation, Kimberly worked as a travel nurse in several hospitals in both Maryland and Virginia to gain experiences with populations she felt underexposed to during her career in the local setting. She then moved to work in private practice before deciding to start her own. She founded Right Minded LLC as she felt it was the best way to help what she felt was a mental health pandemic that followed COVID.

"I can confidently say that Kimberly Braden has truly saved my life."

After struggling a mental break in 2019, I struggled immensely for 2 years afterwards trying to find a suitable psychiatrist who could properly treat & diagnose me. After going through the ringer with multiple psychiatrist who falsely diagnosed and improperly medicated me… I was starting to give up hope. I was finally recommended to Kimberly and my insurance was not taken but we opted to pay out of pocket anyway. She is by far, worth every single penny and so much more. It took her no time to jump in and finally give me hope again. I was at a point where I could not function, get out of bed or even take care of my son & I am now, happily, being a present mom, working and in school to finish getting my degree. None of this would be possible without Kim. I recommend her to everyone I can & if you are looking for a new psychiatrist, I recommend her to you, too!

"I can't say enough about her and her practice. SHE makes a difference!"

During the covid period, we found ourselves in a desperate need to have our grandson (who was diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, social disorder, and destructive behaviors) needing psychotherapy and a medical treatment evaluation. The practice we had been going to was not providing updates, reviewing medication options, or making any progress in helping our grandson. We were referred to Kimberly Braden, by our pediatrician, who actually had another patient seeing her. Upon calling, an in person consultation was scheduled, pre-visit paper work sent, and within a week Kim was face to face with our grandson. Our grandson clicked immediately with Kim. And we did too! Kim was professional, knowledgeable, and emphatic. What stood out most of all, Kim showed she cared and communicated with our grandson at his level, making him comfortable and feeling he mattered. What a breath of fresh air. He loves meeting with her! She got through to him and addressed his medical needs immediately. What wonderful progress we have seen take place with our grandson, under Kim’s care. She has and continues to keep up with his needs and progress.

"I always look forward to my sessions, and come away feeling understood and heard."

Kim Braden is supportive, understanding, and encouraging, always taking as much time as needed to help with my issues and her suggestions. In today’s world, how many medical professionals value your time as much as their time? I always look forward to my sessions, and come away feeling understood and “heard”. I am very grateful for the support that she has provided – it has already made a positive impact on my everyday life and well-being.

"Kim has been a breath of fresh air. I would highly recommend Kim to other patients."

After a few poor experiences with past psychiatric prescribers, Kim has been a breath of fresh air. She listens intently and I am given the opportunity to actively participate in my own treatment plan. During my most difficult moments, Kim has spent extra time just speaking with me so that together we can figure out a comprehensive plan outside of medications only. I cannot really ask for more from a provider! I would highly recommend Kim to other patients.

"We need more practitioners like Kim in the world! She gets to know her patients and truly cares about them."

We need more practitioners like Kim in the world! She is flexible, caring, knowledgeable, and most importantly present. She takes the time to get to know her patients. She researches medications and studies before trying new things. She is always up to date on the newest trends and medications out there. But aside from medications, she gets to know her patients and truly cares about them. My son was hospitalized and Kim maintained contact with us the entire time. She was available for consults and that was very reassuring during the difficult process. I can’t recommend Kim highly enough. She is truly one of a kind.
