Ashburn grew from farmland to one of America’s fastest-moving communities in a single generation: tech corridors, new schools, packed calendars. Alice Tran, PMHNP-BC offers psychiatric care that fits that pace, by telehealth to your home or in person in Fairfax.
Book an Appointment →Ashburn sits at the center of the world’s densest data center corridor, and the community runs on the same always-on energy: technology and cybersecurity careers, government contracting, young families balancing two demanding jobs, and a commute on the Greenway or the new Silver Line that adds hours to already full days. It is a place people move to because they are ambitious about their lives, and ambition has a mental health cost that rarely gets discussed at the neighborhood pool.
The patterns Alice sees from Ashburn are consistent: high-functioning anxiety in professionals who cannot remember their last genuinely restful weekend, ADHD surfacing in adults when the structure of early career gives way to the chaos of managing a household in Broadlands or Brambleton, insomnia that follows on-call schedules and blue light, and the quiet depression of feeling isolated in a community where everyone seems newly arrived and impossibly busy.
Alice Tran is a dual board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and family nurse practitioner (FNP-BC), trained under a psychiatrist with more than fifty years of experience. She treats adults ages 18 to 65 for anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, insomnia, and stress and burnout, with evaluations, medication management, and supportive psychotherapy. Care is available in English and Vietnamese.
For Ashburn residents, telehealth is usually the practical choice: appointments over secure video from home in Ashburn Farm or One Loudoun, no Route 7 or Toll Road involved. If you prefer to be seen in person, the Fairfax office at 3060 Williams Drive is about thirty minutes away with free parking. Most major insurance plans are accepted, including Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, and Medicare, and new patients are typically seen within one to two weeks.
Deadline cycles, on-call rotations, and clearance-world discretion. Care that understands the pressure and protects your privacy.
The engineer who ships great work at 2 a.m. but cannot manage email. Careful multi-visit evaluations, not same-day labels.
Everyone here is from somewhere else. Loneliness in a booming suburb is real, common, and worth treating when it turns into depression.
Two careers, young kids, no nearby grandparents. Burnout and anxiety in Loudoun parents respond well to real treatment.

Your first visit is a full psychiatric evaluation, about an hour, by video or in person. It is a structured conversation, not a quiz: what brought you in now, how your sleep and energy and focus have actually been, your work and family context, medical history, and anything you have tried before. If you have prior records, bring them; if not, that is completely fine.
You leave with an initial diagnosis explained in plain language and a treatment plan you had a voice in shaping. If medication is part of it, the prescription is sent electronically to your Ashburn pharmacy the same day. Follow-ups begin two to four weeks later, because adjusting treatment based on real results is where good psychiatry actually happens.
Medication management means more than refills. It means choosing a medication for your specific symptom pattern and priorities, starting at a sensible dose, watching how it actually behaves in your life, and adjusting deliberately. Alice manages the full range of psychiatric medications: antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, ADHD medications including stimulants, mood stabilizers, and sleep medications.
Every prescription comes with a plain-language explanation of what it does, when to expect results, and which side effects matter. If the first medication is not the right fit, there is a clear plan for what comes next rather than months of drifting.
Appointments here are unhurried by design, and supportive psychotherapy is part of them: practical, evidence-informed conversation about the thought patterns, stressors, and habits feeding your symptoms. For many patients this combination, medication plus supportive therapy in one place, is exactly the right level of care.
When weekly structured therapy such as CBT would add value, Alice says so and helps you find a therapist, then coordinates care with them. You keep one clinician for evaluation and medication, and the two halves of treatment pull in the same direction.
Appointments for Ashburn residents are usually by secure telehealth, which most patients here prefer given Loudoun traffic. In-person visits are available at the Fairfax office, about thirty minutes away via the Greenway and Route 50, with free parking.
Yes, when clinically appropriate, following a careful two to three visit evaluation. Prescriptions go electronically to any Ashburn pharmacy, and monitoring follows the same standards as in-person care.
Follow-ups are typically 30 minutes by video and can be scheduled around sprint cycles and on-call weeks. Patients regularly join from a quiet room at work or a parked car.
For most clearance holders, seeking treatment is viewed far more favorably than untreated symptoms, and current federal guidance reflects that. Care here is private and HIPAA-protected; raise any clearance-specific concerns at the first visit and you will get straight answers.
Most major plans, including Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, and Medicare. Coverage is verified before your first visit, and transparent self-pay rates are posted on the rates page.
New patients are typically scheduled within one to two weeks, which is considerably faster than most Loudoun County waitlists.
Yes, when that helps. Many patients bring a partner into part of an appointment, especially when starting medication or explaining a new diagnosis at home.
Yes. Sleep problems are evaluated properly, including screening for anxiety, depression, and sleep apnea, rather than defaulting to a sleeping pill. Ashburn’s shift workers and late-night screen habits keep this a frequent topic.
