Meet Toni Session, LPC, LCPC—a steadfast servant and seasoned counselor, passionately advocating for mental health in both the District of Columbia and the state of Maryland.

I provide structured, evidence-based psychiatric care for adolescents and adults with anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, and complex mental health conditions. I specialize in treating individuals who have had limited response to prior treatment and require a more personalized, clinically guided approach. I also have extensive experience supporting individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in both community and residential settings.
My name is Nene Barry. I am a Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) certified by both ANCC and AANP, having completed my program at Wilkes University in August 2025. I also hold an MSN as a Family Nurse Practitioner from the Catholic University of America, where I graduated in May 2017. I am an experienced clinician with a strong background in primary care, behavioral health, holistic assessment, patient-centered treatment planning, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Meeting clients where they are is my specialty. I have extensive experience and training working with survivors of trauma and clients who are facing grief and loss. I offer space for holistic approaches that clients embrace and utilize beyond therapy, and encourage them to grow and heal.
I am a single women with two grown beautiful daughters. I am a cat lady with two adorable cats who greet me at the door and sleep with me at night. I have been a therapist for many years and thoroughly enjoy getting to know people and witness their growth over time.
