Potomac is where the region’s surgeons, executives, and founders come home at night. Success does not immunize anyone against depression, anxiety, or ADHD; it mostly teaches people to hide them better. Alice Tran, PMHNP-BC offers discreet psychiatric care by secure telehealth.
Book a Telehealth Appointment →In a community like Potomac, the barrier to mental health care is rarely cost or access. It is exposure. Physicians worry about licensing boards, executives about boards of directors, and everyone about the country club grapevine. So high-achieving adults self-manage: more exercise, more wine, more work, while the underlying anxiety or depression compounds quietly for years.
Research on high achievers is blunt: they experience depression and anxiety at rates equal to or above the general population and are among the least likely to seek help. Perfectionism, the very trait that built the career, is one of the strongest predictors of hidden suffering. None of this improves on its own, and all of it responds to competent, confidential treatment.
This practice offers exactly that: unhurried evaluations by a dual board-certified clinician, treatment reasoning explained at the level you operate at, and secure telehealth so care fits between a morning case and an afternoon board call. No waiting rooms, no chance encounters, no drama.
People whose competence is their currency, and who need a clinician comfortable saying hard things clearly and briefly.
The grayness behind a successful life. Persistent depressive disorder can run for decades unnoticed, and it treats well.
Relentless standards, 4 a.m. wake-ups, the inability to ever be off. There is a difference between ambition and untreated anxiety.
Plenty of brilliant careers are built on white-knuckled compensation. An accurate diagnosis often explains a lifetime.
Telehealth from your home or office, HIPAA-protected records, and a solo clinician rather than a large group practice. If you have specific concerns about documentation, raise them at the first visit and Alice will answer plainly.
Alice will not pretend the concern is irrational, and she is careful and transparent about records. Untreated depression is far more dangerous to a career than treated depression; how to navigate disclosure questions is a conversation she is glad to have.
The first visit is 60 minutes because an accurate answer requires it, and it is available in person or by video. Follow-ups are shorter, typically 30 minutes, scheduled around your calendar and joined from wherever you are.
Neither. Maryland visits are straightforward self-pay: $400 for the initial evaluation and $200 for a 30-minute follow-up, no membership, and nothing billed to insurance. See Rates.
Secure telehealth. Board-certified. Direct and discreet.
