About Alice

Care that begins
with listening.

A little about who I am and why this work matters to me.

Alice Tran, PMHNP-BC, psychiatric nurse practitioner in Fairfax, Virginia.
Hello, it's Alice  ·  Xin chào, tôi là Alice
Meet the Founder

Anh Tran (Alice),
PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC

Anh Tran (Alice), PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC, is the founder of Alice Tran Psychiatric Care. As a dual board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, she created the practice with a simple mission: to provide compassionate, personalized psychiatric care where every patient feels heard, respected, and supported.

With years of clinical experience and specialized training in psychiatry, Alice evaluates and treats a wide range of mental health conditions for adults ages 18 through 65, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, sleep disorders, and mood disorders.

Alice also provides evidence-based psychotherapy to address anxious and depressed thoughts, emotional dysregulation, trauma, multicultural issues, and relational concerns, including boundary issues, unhealthy relationship patterns, and LGBTQ+ issues.

Alice is a proud product of immigration and fluent in Vietnamese. She has a deep passion for working with international students, immigrants, and minorities, people who have often felt that the mental health system wasn't quite built for them. Alice hopes that each visit with her will leave you feeling a little less alone and a little more understood.

The approach

A holistic approach
to mental well-being.

Alice believes in the importance of both medication management and therapeutic interventions. Her goal is to collaborate with her patients, fostering a safe, open environment where you can work together toward your optimal mental health goals.

01

I will listen, fully.

No rushed intakes. No one-size-fits-all checklists. Your first visit is a full hour because your story deserves the time.

02

I will care for the whole of you.

Sleep, family, faith, food, work, loneliness, purpose. Mental health lives within a life, and we will make space for all of it.

03

I will honor where you come from.

Culture, language, background, and belonging shape how we heal. Tiếng Việt is welcome here, along with all that you carry.

Inclusive Care

You are welcome here,
exactly as you are.

She understands that identity, gender, and sexuality are deeply personal, and that these experiences can shape mental health in meaningful ways. Whether you are navigating coming out, gender transition, family acceptance, relationship stress, or simply looking for a provider who gets it, this is a space where you don't have to explain yourself first. You belong here.

A little more about Alice

When I'm not caring for my patients, I'm usually spending time with my husband, family, friends, and our beloved dog, Riley. I really love cooking, especially Vietnamese food, exploring new hiking trails, and discovering cozy cafés in Northern Virginia. I also love traveling, trying foods from different cultures, and expressing my creativity through photography and art.

I also believe that laughter has a place in psychiatry. Healing doesn't always have to feel heavy, and sometimes a shared smile can make difficult conversations feel just a little easier. If you enjoy a bit of humor too, you might like my Pinterest board.

  • ☕ Coffee order: Definitely iced caramel macchiato, even in winter. Or iced matcha latte.
  • 🍜 Comfort food: A hot bowl of Bún bò Huế.
  • 🌎 Favorite part of traveling: Trying local food.
  • 🐶 Virtual visits: Riley may occasionally make a guest appearance. He takes his emotional support role very seriously. 🐾
A note from Alice

A Front Row Seat to
Human Resilience.

One of the most beautiful parts of this work is that I get a front row seat to human resilience.

I witness people carry burdens that can feel impossible to bear, yet somehow they find the strength to take another step, and then another. They remind me, every single day, that healing is rarely loud. Sometimes it is simply choosing to keep swimming.

After years of working in healthcare, and through my own experiences with fear, shame, grief, and trauma, I still choose, every single day, to believe that people can heal. Not because healing is easy, but because I have witnessed it, again and again.

So if you're struggling today, I hope you'll borrow a little of that belief from me until you're able to carry it on your own.

Healing is possible. I hope that, one day, you'll believe it for yourself, too.

My Values

Strength begins with
seeking help.

Seeking help takes real strength, and I want you to know that you don't have to do this alone. My hope is to offer a space that feels safe and unhurried, somewhere you can be honest, feel genuinely heard, and receive care that is thoughtful, kind, and centered on you as a whole person.

If this is your first time seeing a psychiatric provider, the process may feel more familiar than you expect. The first appointment is simply a conversation, a chance to understand your experiences, your symptoms, your goals, and what you're hoping care might feel like. From there, we build something together.

It's worth knowing that what shows up as anxiety, low mood, difficulty focusing, or emotional exhaustion can sometimes have roots beyond what's visible, things like hormonal shifts, thyroid changes, medication effects, or other physical factors that deserve a thoughtful look. A careful evaluation considers all of this, not just the symptoms on the surface.

Sometimes a clear picture emerges in the first visit. Other times, understanding develops gently over a few appointments. Either way, my approach is collaborative and unhurried, and the goal is always for you to leave feeling a little more supported, a little more understood, and a little more confident in the path ahead.

A note on urgency

If you are in crisis right now, please do not wait for an appointment.

Call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Free, confidential, available 24/7.
For emergencies, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.

Alice Tran Psychiatric Care does not operate 24/7 and does not provide crisis services. Emails, voicemails, text or portal messages are typically responded to within 24 to 72 business hours.

The first step is usually the hardest.
