Colonial Heights anchors the Tri-Cities’ steadier side: working families, Fort Gregg-Adams connections, and the Southpark corridor’s retail economy. Alice Tran, PMHNP-BC offers psychiatric care here by secure telehealth.
Book an Appointment →Colonial Heights runs on dependable work: retail and logistics along the Southpark corridor, civilian and military careers tied to Fort Gregg-Adams, healthcare shifts across the Tri-Cities, and households where both adults work and the margin for error is thin. Dependable people are exactly the ones who treat their own mental health as optional until it stops being so.
From Colonial Heights, Alice sees anxiety carried as vigilance by people who cannot afford surprises; depression that reads as flatness after years of routine; military-connected families managing the training-base churn next door; and adults whose focus problems were never once evaluated because they always held a job, as if holding a job and struggling were mutually exclusive.
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, entirely by secure telehealth for Tri-Cities patients. Most major insurance is accepted, including Medicaid and Medicare, and new patients are typically seen within one to two weeks.

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.
