Introduction

A skyline of offices, and not much room in the day

Rosslyn is where the region's commuting pressure concentrates. Towers full of consultants, government contractors, lawyers, and corporate teams. Georgetown a walk across Key Bridge, the District two Metro stops away, and I-66 and the GW Parkway feeding traffic in and out from before seven in the morning. The Iwo Jima Memorial sits a few blocks from all of it, which is a strange and useful reminder of scale.

Anh "Alice" Tran, PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC, provides psychiatric care to adults 18 to 65 who live or work in Rosslyn. She is dual board-certified as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and a family nurse practitioner and is licensed in Virginia. Because the office sits in Fairfax rather than Arlington, nearly all Rosslyn patients are seen by secure video, which is usually the only version of this that fits a Rosslyn calendar.

The local picture

What pushes Rosslyn professionals to finally book something

The work culture here rewards endurance. Billable hours, proposal deadlines, client escalations, and a habit of treating exhaustion as a phase. People rarely call at the first sign of trouble. They call when something has been true for a year and has started affecting the work itself.

Burnout with no off-ramp

Weekends stop restoring anything. Sunday afternoon carries a specific dread. People describe feeling numb about work they used to care about, which is usually further along than they realize.

Sleep sacrificed to the commute

Up at five to beat the bridge, back after seven, then a couple of hours of email. Chronic sleep restriction mimics and worsens depression, and it is often the first thing worth fixing.

Performance anxiety in high-stakes rooms

Presenting to clients or senior leadership, with a physical stress response that arrives before the meeting does. Treatable, and frequently untreated for years.

Attention that fails under load

Adults who managed fine until the volume tripled. When context-switching all day becomes impossible rather than annoying, an ADHD evaluation is a reasonable step.

Alcohol as the only decompression tool

A drink to stop thinking about work, then two, then a rhythm. It is a common coping strategy in high-pressure industries and it quietly undoes sleep and mood.

Confidentiality concerns

Many people in contracting or client-facing roles hesitate because they assume care will follow them professionally. Clinical records are private, and that is worth knowing before you decide.

Logistics

Telehealth for Rosslyn, in-person in Fairfax

The practice is not located in Rosslyn or anywhere in Arlington. The office is at 3060 Williams Drive, Suite 300, Fairfax, VA 22031, in Merrifield, with free on-site parking. That is a real drive from Rosslyn at rush hour, which is exactly why telehealth is the main route for this neighborhood.

Video visits happen at doxy.me/alicetran and open in any browser. A booked conference room, a wellness room, or a parked car in the building garage all work. If you would rather be seen in person, particularly for stimulant prescribing where Virginia rules may require it, the Fairfax office is available and easiest mid-morning. Read more on the Northern Virginia telehealth page.

Services

Three services, described without jargon

Comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. Sixty minutes, and it is genuinely used. Alice asks about the arc of the problem rather than a snapshot: when it started, what else was happening then, what has changed since, and what you have already tried. She also asks about the things people leave out of quick visits, including sleep quality, caffeine intake, alcohol, exercise, medical conditions, medications from other providers, and family psychiatric history. In consulting terms, it is a diagnostic phase before recommendations, and skipping it produces bad recommendations.

Medication management, adjusted to your response. If medication is indicated, you get the reasoning: the target symptoms, the expected timeline, the common side effects, and the plan if it underperforms. Follow-ups are 30 or 45 minutes and exist to make actual adjustments rather than rubber-stamp a refill. Prescriptions go to whatever pharmacy is convenient, in Rosslyn or wherever you actually pick things up. Controlled medications follow Virginia requirements, which can mean an in-person visit.

Supportive therapy in the same appointment. Rather than a separate track, therapeutic conversation is built into follow-ups. That covers the parts of the situation medication cannot reach: whether to stay in a role, how to set a boundary with a client, what to do about a relationship strained by the hours. When the honest answer is that you need structured therapy such as trauma-focused work or full CBT, Alice will say so and help you find someone, then coordinate with them. The services page covers this in more detail.

Conditions

Conditions seen most often in Rosslyn patients

The mix here skews toward stress-related presentations, though the full range is treated. Burnout and anxiety lead, frequently together, and often tangled with insomnia by the time someone books. Depression shows up in a version that keeps producing deliverables while everything else goes flat.

Adult ADHD is common among people whose jobs demand constant prioritization. PTSD and trauma responses come up too, including in people who have served or who work adjacent to national security and never connected current symptoms to older events. Also treated: panic disorder, OCD, bipolar disorder, sleep problems, postpartum and perinatal mood changes, and grief.

Free self-assessments can help you organize your thoughts before the first visit: the GAD-7, the PHQ-9, and an adult ADHD screener. They are not diagnostic, and Alice will not treat a score as a conclusion.

Why this practice

What you are choosing when you choose a small practice

Large systems distribute you across whoever is available. Here you see one provider consistently, which means you are not re-explaining your history every quarter to someone reading a chart for the first time.

Alice's preparation is worth knowing about. She trained under psychiatrist Dr. Errol Segall, MD, whose practice spans more than 50 years, and holds dual board certification in psychiatric mental health and family practice. That second certification changes how fatigue, weight change, and concentration problems get worked up, because the medical explanations are on the table rather than assumed to be psychiatric by default.

Cost is published rather than quoted on request: $400 for the 60 minute initial evaluation, $200 for a 30 minute follow-up, and $250 for a 45 minute follow-up, self-pay, with no membership and no hidden fees. Most major insurance is accepted, including Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, Medicare, and Medicaid, and coverage is verified before you are seen. See rates for specifics and about for background. Visits can be conducted fully in English or fully in Tiếng Việt without an interpreter.

Getting started

Your first appointment, step by step

Book online, or call or text if you would rather talk to a person first. Intake forms come by email; complete what you can and bring the rest to the conversation. Insurance is verified beforehand, so you know your responsibility going in.

At your appointment time, open doxy.me/alicetran. No account, no software. Alice will start by asking what made today the day you decided to do this, then work through the history. Expect a real back-and-forth rather than an interview. By the end you will have a working assessment stated in plain language and a plan you had a hand in shaping, whether that is a medication, a referral, labs, or watchful waiting with a follow-up in three weeks. Most patients return in two to four weeks after starting anything new.

Coverage area

Nearby communities served

Rosslyn patients often overlap with neighbors in Courthouse, North Highlands, and along the corridor toward Clarendon and Ballston. Alice sees adults throughout Arlington, plus Falls Church, Fairfax, and Alexandria, and anyone located in Virginia at the time of a telehealth visit.

Answers

What Rosslyn patients ask before booking

Can I schedule a visit during a lunch hour from a Rosslyn high-rise?

Yes. Appointments are available Monday through Thursday between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM Eastern, and a 30 minute follow-up fits inside a lunch break with time to spare. You need a private space and a browser, nothing else.

I travel for work constantly. Does that break treatment?

Not if you are physically in Virginia at the time of the visit, which is what state licensing turns on. If a trip takes you out of state on your appointment day, let us know and we will move it rather than proceed.

Is burnout something a psychiatric provider can actually treat?

Burnout is not a formal diagnosis, but the things it produces are treatable: disrupted sleep, anxiety, low mood, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. An evaluation sorts out how much is situational exhaustion and how much is a treatable condition sitting underneath.

Do you write documentation for employers or short-term disability?

Alice can complete reasonable clinical documentation for established patients when it is clinically supportable. She does not provide forensic evaluations, disability determinations, or letters for someone she has not assessed.

My commute across Key Bridge eats an hour each way. Does that come up in a visit?

It should. Commute length shapes sleep, exercise, meals, and how much recovery time exists in a week, and all of those affect symptoms. Practical scheduling changes are often part of the plan, not an afterthought.

What if I have already tried two antidepressants that did not work?

That is useful information rather than a dead end. Alice will go through what each one was, the dose, how long you stayed on it, and what happened. Trials that were too short or too low-dose are common, and the next step depends on those specifics.

Can I get a same-week appointment if something is escalating?

Sometimes, though the usual wait for new patients is one to two weeks. Call or text (703) 791-9099 and describe the situation. If you are in immediate danger, do not wait for a callback: call or text 988.

Do you coordinate with an employee assistance program?

Alice can work alongside services you access through an EAP, with your written permission. Note that this practice bills insurance or self-pay directly rather than through an EAP arrangement.

How much of a first visit is medication talk?

Less than people expect. The 60 minutes is mostly history and context. Medication comes up toward the end, once there is enough information to make a recommendation worth trusting, and sometimes the recommendation is to wait.

Are records shared with my employer or anyone else?

No. Clinical records are confidential and are not sent anywhere without your written authorization, apart from the narrow legal exceptions that apply to every licensed provider in Virginia.

Additional answers live on the FAQ page.

One appointment is enough to start.

If the last year has been survivable rather than good, that is reason enough to book. New Rosslyn patients are usually seen within one to two weeks, no referral required. Reserve a time online, or call or text (703) 791-9099 with a question first. Email works too: info@alicetrannp.com. For an emergency, call or text 988 rather than waiting for an appointment.
