Christiansburg is the New River Valley’s working hub: the county seat, the commercial spine along 460, and home to families who keep the region running while Blacksburg gets the headlines. Alice Tran, PMHNP-BC brings psychiatric care here by secure telehealth.
Book an Appointment →Christiansburg carries a different load than its famous neighbor: manufacturing and logistics shifts, retail and healthcare jobs along the 460 corridor, county government work, and families whose budgets and schedules leave little room for a two-month psychiatric waitlist or a drive to Roanoke for a fifteen-minute appointment.
The patterns Alice sees from Christiansburg are grounded ones: depression that gets labeled exhaustion, anxiety carried as irritability and stomach trouble, ADHD in adults who always assumed struggling was normal, and the particular stress of raising kids while caring for aging parents in a region where every service requires a drive.
Alice Tran is a dual board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC) treating adults 18 to 65 for anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, insomnia, and burnout. All care for Christiansburg patients is by secure telehealth, with prescriptions to your local pharmacy, most major insurance accepted including Medicaid and Medicare, and new patients seen within one to two weeks.
Appointments that respect schedules built around plants, warehouses, and store hours, with no commute added.
Kids, parents, and a full-time job at once. Burnout in family caregivers is treatable, and treating it helps everyone downstream.
Careful multi-visit evaluations for adults who were never assessed as kids, common in a region where that simply was not done.
When rest never fixes the exhaustion, it deserves a real evaluation, not another energy drink.

Your first visit is a full psychiatric evaluation over secure video, about an hour: what brought you in now, your sleep, energy, mood and focus, your medical history, and what you have tried before. It is a conversation, not an interrogation, and you set the depth on anything difficult.
You leave with an initial diagnosis explained in plain language and a treatment plan you helped shape. Prescriptions go electronically to your local pharmacy the same day when medication is part of the plan, and the first follow-up lands two to four weeks later so treatment gets adjusted on real results.
Alice prescribes and manages the full range of psychiatric medications: antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, stimulant and non-stimulant ADHD treatments, mood stabilizers, and sleep medications. Every choice is explained: why this one, what to expect in the first weeks, and which side effects matter.
Follow-ups run closer together while doses are adjusted and space out once you are stable. Partial improvement is treated as a signal to optimize, not a stopping point, and refill questions between visits get answered.
Appointments include supportive psychotherapy: practical, evidence-informed work on the stress, thought patterns, and habits underneath the symptoms. For many patients, medication plus meaningful conversation with one clinician is exactly the right level of care.
When structured weekly therapy such as CBT or trauma-focused work would add value, Alice says so plainly and helps you find a therapist, then coordinates so both halves of treatment pull together.
No. Everything happens by secure video from home, a parked car, or a private room at work, anywhere in Virginia.
Yes, along with Medicare and most major commercial plans including Aetna, Anthem, and Cigna. Coverage is verified before your first visit.
Visits run over a phone on cellular data just fine, and if video fails mid-appointment, the visit finishes by phone rather than being rescheduled.
Yes. Each adult gets their own confidential care; nothing is shared between family members without written permission.
Usually one to two weeks, compared with the months-long waits typical in the New River Valley.

No. You can book directly online, and your primary care provider is kept in the loop only if you want them to be.
