Adult psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy, delivered by secure video from wherever you already are in the Town Center.
Book an Appointment →Reston Town Center was designed so you would not need a car for much. Groceries, a gym, dinner, a movie, the pavilion, an office lobby, and two Silver Line stations at Wiehle-Reston East and Reston Town Center are all inside a short walk or a short hop. Psychiatric care is one of the few things that still tends to send people back onto the Toll Road, usually to a practice with a wait measured in months.
Anh "Alice" Tran, PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC, is a dual board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and family nurse practitioner licensed in Virginia, treating adults 18 to 65. For people who live or work around the Town Center, care happens by video, which fits a walkable life the way an across-town appointment never quite does. The practice office itself is in Fairfax, at 3060 Williams Drive, Suite 300, in the Merrifield area, with free on-site parking for anyone who prefers to be seen in the same room.
The blocks around Market Street hold a genuinely mixed population: engineers and product managers at the tech employers clustered along the Dulles corridor, including staff at Google's Reston offices, consultants who fly out of Dulles on Monday, small-business owners on the ground floors, and Restonians who arrived decades ago when this was still an experiment in planned community living. The reasons for a first appointment sort into a handful of recognizable shapes.
You run into colleagues at the coffee shop, the gym, and the farmers market. That is pleasant most days and exhausting on the days you are barely holding it together. Being permanently on display is its own low-grade stressor.
Three days in the office, two at home, and a calendar that reshuffles every Sunday night. Irregular structure is hard on sleep, hard on medication timing, and unusually hard on anyone with attention difficulties.
The corridor's employers restructure in waves. Even people whose jobs survive describe months of vigilance afterward, checking messages at midnight and reading tone into every meeting invitation.
Frequent flights out of Dulles wreck sleep schedules, disrupt exercise, and make consistent medication timing genuinely difficult. Mood and focus usually follow the sleep, not the other way around.
Retirement from a federal or corporate career, a partner's illness, or watching a familiar community change around you. Grief and identity questions do not require a crisis to be worth talking about.
You managed complexity for years with sheer effort and good memory. Then the scope grew, the systems multiplied, and the effort stopped covering the gap. Adults are frequently evaluated for ADHD for the first time in exactly this moment.
Psychiatric evaluation. The first appointment is a full 60 minutes because the useful information rarely arrives in the first ten. Alice asks when things changed, what was happening around you at the time, what treatment you have already tried and how each attempt ended, what runs in your family, how you sleep, how much caffeine the day actually contains, and what a routine weekday feels like from the inside. If you arrive with a diagnosis someone gave you quickly years ago, part of the hour is spent checking whether it still describes you.
Medication management. When medication is part of the plan, it is explained before it is prescribed: the reasoning, the realistic timeline for a response, the side effects worth watching in the first two weeks, and what happens if it turns out to be the wrong fit. Adjustments follow your actual response rather than a fixed schedule. Prescriptions go electronically to whatever pharmacy suits your route home. Controlled medications, including stimulants used in ADHD treatment, are handled under Virginia requirements, which occasionally means an in-person appointment in Fairfax.
Supportive therapy. Follow-ups are conversations, not symptom checklists with a refill attached. That might mean thinking through whether to take an internal transfer, naming a pattern that keeps repeating in your work relationships, or protecting sleep through a heavy quarter. When a situation calls for structured, longer-term therapy, such as trauma processing or a full course of CBT, Alice says so plainly and helps you find a therapist, and she is glad to coordinate with clinicians you already see. The services page goes into further detail.
Intake paperwork arrives ahead of time so the hour is not consumed by forms. Answer what you can and leave blanks where you are unsure; nothing about it is a test. Insurance is verified before you are seen, so the cost is known in advance rather than discovered on a statement weeks later.
For a video visit, you open doxy.me/alicetran a few minutes early. There is no download and no account. The opening minutes are ordinary conversation, and Alice usually starts with why now, because the timing of a decision to get help tends to be informative on its own. From there the discussion moves through symptoms, history, medical background, and current medications, and then she tells you what she is thinking and the reasoning behind it. You leave with a plan you helped shape. Most people schedule a first follow-up two to four weeks out, and if you want to organize your thoughts beforehand, the adult ADHD self-check, the GAD-7, and the PHQ-9 are free to take.
Care covers adult psychiatry, with attention to how a condition shows up in an actual week rather than only how it reads on a diagnostic checklist.
Focus and attention. Adult ADHD, including people diagnosed as children who dropped treatment after college and people considering it seriously for the first time in their thirties or forties. Statewide detail lives on the ADHD treatment in Virginia page.
Anxiety and its relatives. Generalized anxiety, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and the physical side of anxiety that sends otherwise healthy people to urgent care convinced something is wrong with their heart. See also anxiety treatment in Virginia.
Mood. Depression, including the version that never misses a deadline, along with bipolar disorder and grief that has outlasted what anyone expected. More at depression treatment in Virginia.
Trauma, sleep, and burnout. PTSD and trauma responses, including events that long predate your time in Northern Virginia, plus insomnia and burnout that has moved past ordinary tiredness. Postpartum and perinatal mood changes are treated as well.
Video is the standard route, and for this neighborhood it is the honest recommendation. A 30 minute follow-up from your apartment above Market Street costs you 30 minutes. The same appointment across the county costs an afternoon. Visits take place at doxy.me/alicetran, and every visit is by video rather than by phone. If the connection fails, you rejoin the same link and the office calls to help you get back on, so the appointment finishes the way it started.
In-person appointments are available at the Fairfax office, 3060 Williams Drive, Suite 300, roughly 25 to 35 minutes away depending on traffic on the Toll Road, with free on-site parking. Some patients begin with an in-person evaluation and then move to video for maintenance. Either way, the provider is the same person. More on how virtual care works regionally is on the Northern Virginia telehealth page.
You see Alice each time. Not a rotating panel and not whoever has an open slot. Continuity matters in psychiatry because so much of the useful signal is cumulative: how you responded to a dose change in February is what makes the right call obvious in October.
Her background is dual. Alice trained under psychiatrist Dr. Errol Segall, MD, whose clinical experience spans more than 50 years, and she holds board certification in both psychiatric mental health and family practice. The family practice side means thyroid function, anemia, sleep apnea, and drug interactions get examined rather than assumed away, which is directly relevant when the leading complaint is fatigue or a foggy head.
Pricing is published 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 membership and nothing hidden. Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, Medicare, and Medicaid are accepted, and coverage is verified before the first appointment. Current details are on the rates page, and you can read more about Alice.
Care is available fully in English or fully in Tiếng Việt, with no interpreter in the room.
Patients come from across the Dulles corridor and beyond. Alice also sees adults throughout Reston, Herndon, Ashburn, Leesburg, and the rest of Loudoun County, as well as Vienna, Tysons, Fairfax, and Arlington, including Ballston. Telehealth is available anywhere in Virginia as long as you are physically in the state during the visit.
Not this one. The single office is at 3060 Williams Drive, Suite 300, Fairfax, VA 22031, in the Merrifield area, with free on-site parking. Reston Town Center is a community Alice serves, and nearly all of that care happens by secure video. Nothing on this page should be read as a storefront near the pavilion.
For most people, no. Video visits cover evaluations and follow-ups completely. The reasons to make the drive are personal preference, a situation where being in the same room helps, or certain controlled medication requirements under Virginia rules. If one of those applies, Alice will tell you directly rather than leaving you to guess.
Around the Town Center, patients commonly use a reserved huddle room, a wellness room, or their own car in a garage on Reston Parkway. What matters is that the space is private and the connection holds. The link is doxy.me/alicetran and it opens in a browser with nothing to install.
Unfortunately not. This practice treats adults 18 to 65 only. That is a scope decision, not a comment on anyone's needs, and the office is glad to point you toward practices that focus on older adults.
No. Visits are by video, always. If the connection drops mid-visit, you rejoin the same doxy.me/alicetran link and the office will call to help you reconnect so the appointment finishes on video rather than turning into a phone call.
Both evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe. The training paths differ. Alice is dual board-certified as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and a family nurse practitioner, licensed in Virginia, and she trained under psychiatrist Dr. Errol Segall, MD, who has more than 50 years of clinical experience.
Yes, and it is a common way depression presents in people who are still performing at work. It is also a reason the family practice side of Alice's training matters, because thyroid function, iron, sleep apnea, and medication side effects all deserve a look before anything is assumed.
A 45 minute follow-up is $250 and a 30 minute follow-up is $200. The initial 60 minute evaluation is $400. There are no memberships and no hidden fees. Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, Medicare, and Medicaid are accepted, and coverage is verified before your first visit.
Yes. Prescriptions are sent electronically to whichever pharmacy is easiest for you, whether that is a counter a short walk from the plaza, one along Sunset Hills Road, or somewhere closer to home. You can change the pharmacy on file at any visit.
It can be. Plenty of people book an evaluation to get a clear picture and leave with a plan that is mostly sleep, structure, and follow-up rather than a prescription. Medication is one option discussed openly, not a foregone conclusion.
