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.
I am a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with training in both primary care and psychiatric mental health. I have extensive experience providing care in community, correctional, and integrated care settings, where I work with individuals managing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, and other mental health concerns.
I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and respected. I value thoughtful assessment, clear communication, and collaborative decision-making to help clients better understand their symptoms and treatment options. My goal is to partner with each client to develop a personalized care plan that supports both mental and overall well-being.
