Psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy for adults 18 to 65, delivered by secure video across Virginia.
Book an Appointment →Broadlands has been here long enough to have grown into itself. The trees are mature, the HOA rhythms are familiar, the trails and pools are known quantities, and a lot of households have been in the same house through more than one school assignment. Inova Loudoun Hospital is close, Ashburn Village and Brambleton are minutes away, and most adults here are somewhere in the middle of things: mid-career, mid-mortgage, children old enough to have their own schedules and not old enough to drive themselves to all of it.
Anh "Alice" Tran, PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC, is a dual board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and family nurse practitioner, licensed in Virginia, seeing adults 18 to 65. There is no Loudoun office. Broadlands patients are seen by video, which is the practical route when the day is already stitched together around other people's schedules.
The pressures here are less about arriving and more about sustaining. People are established, employed in government contracting, healthcare, technology, and county work, and often stretched across two generations of responsibility at once. Loudoun's large and growing South Asian and East Asian communities are well represented in this neighborhood, and multigenerational households are common, which changes what caregiving actually looks like day to day.
Managing a parent's appointments and medications while still running homework, practices, and permission slips. The load is real, it rarely gets acknowledged, and it shows up as irritability and thin sleep long before anyone calls it depression.
Watching your own kid have a hard year takes a measurable toll on a parent. This practice sees adults only, but the strain of parenting through a difficult stretch is a legitimate reason for an adult to seek treatment.
Clinical staff at Inova Loudoun and the surrounding practices work rotations that fight biology. Nights, swings, and back-to-back shifts wreck sleep architecture, and the mood consequences arrive on a delay.
When your neighbors, your children's friends' parents, and half the sideline at a Saturday game overlap, walking into a local waiting room feels exposed. Video care removes that calculation entirely.
You did the things in order and arrived. Then the striving stopped and something flat took its place. Mid-career emptiness is a common and treatable presentation, and it is not the same as ingratitude.
Years of early departures and late returns compound quietly. Chronic short sleep worsens anxiety, attention, and mood at the same time, which is why it is often the first thing addressed.
Adult psychiatry across the range, with the emphasis on how something functions in your household rather than only how it classifies.
Mood conditions. Depression, including the kind that keeps every commitment and enjoys none of them, plus bipolar disorder and grief that has settled in after losing a parent. See depression treatment in Virginia and the PHQ-9.
Anxiety conditions. Generalized anxiety, panic, and obsessive compulsive disorder, including checking and reassurance-seeking that has quietly organized a whole household around it. The GAD-7 and the Virginia anxiety treatment page are useful starting points.
Attention. Adult ADHD, frequently recognized by a parent while a child is being evaluated. The adult ADHD self-check and ADHD treatment in Virginia cover more ground.
Trauma, sleep, and exhaustion. PTSD and trauma responses, insomnia, and burnout. Postpartum and perinatal mood changes are also treated.
Intake forms arrive before the appointment so the hour is not spent filling them in. Insurance is verified in advance. You join at doxy.me/alicetran a few minutes early, from a room in your own house where nobody will walk in.
The visit opens as a conversation, not a checklist. Alice usually asks why now, because what tipped the decision after months or years of consideration is often the most useful sentence of the hour. From there the discussion works through symptoms, personal history, medical background, family history, and anything you are currently taking, including supplements. At the end she says what she is thinking and why, lays out the options with their trade-offs, and you decide together. Most people leave with a follow-up two to four weeks out.
Psychiatric evaluation. Sixty minutes, unhurried on purpose. Symptoms are only part of it. The rest is context: what your week is genuinely shaped like, who depends on you, what you have already tried and how it went, what your sleep looks like on a Sunday night versus a Thursday, and what medical conditions run in your family. People who have been managing without help for a long time often find this is the first time anyone has asked for the whole picture in one sitting.
Medication management. When medication is part of a plan, the reasoning is explained first: what it is for, how long a real response usually takes, which side effects matter in the first two weeks, and what happens if it turns out to be wrong for you. Adjustments follow your response. Prescriptions go electronically to whichever pharmacy suits your errands, whether that is on Ashburn Village Boulevard or nearer the hospital. Controlled medications, including stimulants, follow Virginia rules, which may require an in-person visit in Fairfax.
Supportive therapy. Follow-ups make room for the actual situation, not just a medication check. That might be setting a boundary with a family member, deciding how much to tell your children, or figuring out how to keep a treatment plan alive during a stretch when you are the one holding everything up. If a structured therapy is what you need, Alice will say so and help you find a therapist, and she coordinates with the clinicians already involved in your care. See the services page for more.
Continuity is the main thing. You are seen by the same clinician every time, so the history does not need re-explaining and the pattern across months is visible to the person making decisions with you.
Alice trained under psychiatrist Dr. Errol Segall, MD, whose clinical experience runs past 50 years, and she is board-certified in both psychiatric mental health and family practice. That combination is unusually useful in a neighborhood full of people in their forties and fifties, because thyroid function, anemia, sleep apnea, perimenopausal changes, and interactions with blood pressure or diabetes medications are considered rather than deferred.
Costs are posted and flat: $400 for the 60 minute initial evaluation, $200 for a 30 minute follow-up, and $250 for a 45 minute follow-up, with no memberships and nothing tacked on. Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, Medicare, and Medicaid are accepted and verified before your first appointment. The rates page has specifics, and there is more about Alice as well.
Appointments can be conducted entirely in English or entirely in Tiếng Việt, with no interpreter needed.
There is no office in Broadlands and none anywhere in Loudoun, so it is worth being direct: for this community, telehealth is the realistic way to get and keep care. Visits happen by video at doxy.me/alicetran, which opens in a browser with no app and no account. Every appointment is a video appointment, and there is no telephone alternative. If the picture drops, you rejoin the same link while the office calls to help you reconnect, so the appointment finishes on video. You do need to be physically in Virginia while the visit is happening.
If you would rather be in the room, the office is at 3060 Williams Drive, Suite 300, Fairfax, VA 22031, in Merrifield, with free on-site parking, about 40 to 55 minutes away depending on the Greenway and the hour. More on how virtual care works across the region is on the Northern Virginia telehealth page.
No. The practice has one office, at 3060 Williams Drive, Suite 300, Fairfax, VA 22031, in the Merrifield area, with free on-site parking. Broadlands is served by video, which for Loudoun is the honest and workable route. In-person appointments in Fairfax remain available if you prefer them.
Mid-morning is usually the easiest time to get. Appointments run Monday through Thursday, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern, and the slots between drop-off and pickup are exactly the window most Broadlands parents book. Evening and weekend times may be available on request.
It absolutely belongs there. Caregiving load is one of the most reliable drivers of exhaustion, resentment, disrupted sleep, and low mood in this age group, and it is often the thing nobody has asked about. It gets treated as clinical information, not as a personal failing.
Getting psychiatric care is not itself reportable to a licensing board, and nothing is disclosed to your employer without your written authorization. Clinicians, nurses, and first responders are seen routinely in this practice. If you have a specific concern about a credentialing question, raise it at the first visit and it can be discussed directly.
Prescriptions are written to carry you to the next scheduled visit, so the usual answer is to keep follow-ups on the calendar. If something runs short, contact the office by phone or text at (703) 791-9099. Controlled medications have stricter rules and generally cannot be refilled without a visit.
You rejoin the same link at doxy.me/alicetran, and the office will call to help you get reconnected so the visit finishes on video. Visits are not switched to a telephone appointment. It happens occasionally and it is not a problem worth worrying about in advance.
Both. Brief standardized measures can help track change over time, and the free self-checks on this site for ADHD, anxiety, and depression are a reasonable way to organize your thoughts beforehand. They inform the conversation rather than replacing it. No score decides anything on its own.
No. A bad experience with one medication is useful information, not a verdict. What matters is which one, at what dose, for how long, and what specifically felt wrong. That detail often points toward a different option or a different approach entirely, including plans that do not center on medication.
Yes. Medicare, Medicaid, Aetna, Anthem, and Cigna are accepted, with your plan verified before the first appointment. Self-pay rates are $400 for the 60 minute initial evaluation, $200 for a 30 minute follow-up, and $250 for a 45 minute follow-up, with no memberships and no hidden fees.
It varies. Early on, follow-ups are usually every two to four weeks while a plan is being adjusted. Once things settle, many people move to every one to three months. Controlled medications may require a set interval. The schedule is decided together rather than imposed.
