Book an Appointment →Lorton has transformed: new neighborhoods, young families, VRE commuters, and a diversity that reflects the best of Fairfax County. Growth brings pressure: careers, children, aging parents, and the quiet stress of building a life. Anxiety, depression, and adult ADHD are common here and very treatable.
Alice Tran, PMHNP-BC grew up between two worlds, Vietnamese at home and American everywhere else. She provides psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy fully in Vietnamese or English, with no interpreter needed. When it helps, parents and family members can join the conversation, so care feels clearer and more comfortable for everyone involved. Khám và tư vấn hoàn toàn bằng tiếng Việt.

From high-functioning anxiety hidden behind achievement to depression that makes every day heavier, treatment is tailored to how it actually shows up in your life.
Being the family translator, the achiever, or the peacemaker is heavy work. That weight is taken seriously in evaluation and treatment.
Bright, capable, and constantly behind: that pattern deserves a proper ADHD evaluation, not another productivity app.
Lorton sits at the gate of Fort Belvoir, so a large share of the people who call from here are service members, federal employees, or cleared contractors. And a large share of them open with some version of the same question: will getting help hurt my clearance?
It is worth answering directly, because the fear keeps people from care far more often than the reality justifies. Security clearance adjudication looks at judgment, reliability, and whether a condition is being managed. Seeking treatment is generally read as evidence of good judgment. Untreated problems that spill into work, finances, or relationships are what actually create risk.
The standard security questionnaire has also narrowed over the years. It no longer asks broadly about any counseling, and it carves out care related to grief, family and marital adjustment, and adjustment from service in a combat environment. Denials tied purely to having sought mental health care are rare.
None of that is legal advice, and your facility security officer is the right person for questions about your specific situation and your specific agency. But if the only thing standing between you and an evaluation is the assumption that treatment ends a career, that assumption deserves a second look before you let it decide for you.
Telehealth visits happen from your own home. No waiting room near post, and no chance of running into a colleague in a lobby.
Video visits remove the drive down Route 1 and back. Contact the practice about evening availability if a duty day makes daytime impossible.
Your treatment record belongs to you. Information is not released to a command or an employer without your written authorization, outside the narrow legal exceptions that apply to every medical provider.
The practice is in network with Humana Military, along with Anthem, the Commonwealth of Virginia plan, Medicare, and Medicaid. See coverage →

Many people searching for a psychiatrist in Lorton end up here, so it is worth being clear about who you would be seeing. Alice Tran is a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), not a psychiatrist. For outpatient care in Virginia that distinction matters less than most people expect: she evaluates and diagnoses mental health conditions, prescribes and manages psychiatric medication including ADHD medication, and provides supportive therapy.
The practical differences tend to favor the patient. Psychiatrist offices in this area commonly quote waits of one to three months and many do not take insurance. This practice usually sees new patients within one to two weeks, accepts most major plans including Medicare and Medicaid, and gives every new patient a full 60 minute first appointment. Alice also trained under psychiatrist Dr. Errol Segall, MD, who brings over 50 years of clinical experience.
