About this practice

Care that speaks Sterling's languages.

Sterling is one of the most diverse corners of Loudoun County: data-center and airport shift workers, small business owners, and immigrant families from every continent building lives along Route 7 and 28. Mental health care that respects culture and language matters here, and telehealth makes it easy to reach.

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.

The Fairfax office at 3060 Williams Drive is about a twenty-five-minute drive from Sterling, with free on-site parking, and every service is also available by secure video anywhere in Virginia. Most major insurances are accepted, including Medicare and Medicaid, and new patients are typically seen within one to two weeks.

Anxiety & depression

Whether it arrived suddenly or has been the background noise of your life for years, anxiety and depression respond well to careful evaluation and the right treatment plan.

Cultural & family pressure

Immigrant family dynamics, achievement pressure, and duty to parents are not side topics here. They are often the heart of the story, and they are understood.

ADHD in adults

If you have wondered for years whether it is ADHD, a comprehensive two-visit evaluation can finally give you a real answer.

For Loudoun waitlists

When the county grew faster than its providers did.

Loudoun County has been among the fastest-growing counties in the country for two decades. Housing kept up, roads mostly kept up, and behavioral health did not. The result is a place with money, insurance, and educated residents who still cannot get an appointment.

The number people quote around Sterling is months. Months to be evaluated, months to start medication, months during which a person who finally worked up to asking for help sits with an answer of not yet. A meaningful number never call back, which is the real cost of a waitlist and the part that does not show up in any county statistic.

This is a supply problem rather than a demand one, and telehealth is the practical way around it. A provider licensed across Virginia is not constrained by how many offices happen to sit within a fifteen minute drive of Sterling.

New patients here are typically seen within one to two weeks.

Weeks instead of months

Typical new patient wait is one to two weeks. For most people that difference is the entire decision.

No Route 7 at rush hour

The appointment happens where you are. Nothing about it requires being on the road at five.

Most major plans accepted

Anthem, HealthKeepers, Aetna, Cigna, Carelon, Medicare, Medicaid and more. See coverage →

Adult ADHD evaluation

One of the longest waits in the county, and one of the most common reasons people call. How it works →

Quick answers

What Sterling patients want to know

Do you really conduct visits in Vietnamese?

Completely. Every part of the appointment can happen in Vietnamese, and family members may join when that helps.

Can you see my parents, too?

Yes, for adults up to age 65. Many families book visits for parents who feel more comfortable in Vietnamese, and Alice makes those first conversations gentle.

What insurance do you accept?

Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, Medicare, Medicaid, and several others. The Rates page lists the full current panel and self-pay options.

Is the office far from Sterling?

The Fairfax office at 3060 Williams Drive, Suite 300 is about a twenty-five-minute drive from Sterling, with free parking. Telehealth visits are also available anywhere in Virginia.

Why is the wait for psychiatric care in Loudoun so long?

Loudoun has grown far faster than its behavioral health capacity for roughly two decades. It is a supply problem rather than anything about your insurance or your situation, and it is exactly the gap telehealth closes.

How quickly could I actually be seen?

New patients are typically seen within one to two weeks, rather than the multi-month waits commonly quoted by practices with physical offices in the county.

Psychiatrist or PMHNP?

Looking for a psychiatrist in Sterling?

Many people searching for a psychiatrist in Sterling 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.
