From Arlington to Virginia Beach to Roanoke, Virginia adults wait months for ADHD care that often turns out to be a fifteen-minute quiz. Alice Tran, PMHNP-BC offers the opposite: careful multi-visit evaluations and engaged medication management, in person in Fairfax or by telehealth anywhere in Virginia.
Book an Appointment →Adult ADHD is real, common, and badly underdiagnosed, especially in women, high achievers, and adults who got good grades by working three times harder than everyone around them. It is also overdiagnosed by quiz-mill telehealth apps that hand out stimulants after one questionnaire. Both failures come from the same shortcut: skipping the evaluation. ADHD shares symptoms with anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, and thyroid problems, and a diagnosis that ignores those is a guess.
The evaluation here takes two to three visits: a complete psychiatric history first, then structured ADHD assessment using validated tools, your own self reports, and collateral input from someone who knows you well. If formal neuropsychological testing would genuinely add value, such as for suspected learning disorders, Alice says so honestly; most adults do not need it.
Treatment is built around your actual life: stimulant or non-stimulant medication when appropriate, adjusted with real follow-up rather than auto-refills; practical strategies for the executive-function side of work and home; and treatment of the anxiety or depression that decades of untreated ADHD so often produce. Appointments are in person at the Fairfax office or by secure telehealth anywhere in Virginia, in English or Tiếng Việt, with most major insurance accepted.

Masking, hormones, and the inattentive type mean women are missed for decades. The evaluation is built to catch what screenings skip.
