Jessica Barry

As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Board Certified Behavior Analyst, I am committed to identifying an individual's personal strengths, address areas of weakness, and guide the individual through their experience in order to achieve better, more satisfying outcomes.

A New York native; I left New York to attend graduate school to obtain my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology in the Washington DC area. For a brief time, I lived and worked in the Baltimore, Maryland area before relocating to North Carolina to work in a private practice. While in North Carolina, in addition to working as a licensed psychologist, I became certified as a Behavioral Analyst. For 10+ years, I worked with the US military soldiers and families stationed at Ft. Liberty and providing their children with special needs. I provided intensive outpatient therapy and psychological evaluations to the local population. Life has brought me back to Northern Virginia where I may offer my skills to the individuals and families who reside here in the area.

With over a decade of experience, my scope of practice includes the provision of psychotherapy, as well as comprehensive psychological/neuropsychological evaluations. My clinical practice includes working with individuals with cognitive and learning disabilities, autism (ASD), ADHD, Mood Disorders, Anxiety, Addiction, Abuse, issues related to disruptive behavior, OCD, impulse-control, self-image, life transitions, intimacy, sexuality, gender identity, LGBTQ+, stress/anger management, conflict resolution, social skills, trauma, and grief/loss.

During therapy, I utilize an integrative, patient-focused approach, to personalize treatment to the individual, couple and/or family. My treatment style includes the use of psychodynamic, CBT, ACT, DBT, and mindfulness techniques. Treatment is designed specifically for the child, family, adolescent and adult.

For psychological evaluations, I meet with the individual and/or family at the very beginning in order to gather necessary background information. Based on their specific needs, I tailor the assessment to capture and address their questions or concerns. During the feedback session, I provide detailed results and recommendations that will facilitate the individual and family getting access to the treatment and accommodations they require to improve their lives.
