Front Royal sits at the gateway to the Shenandoah, where I-66 ends and the mountains begin, and where psychiatric care has always been a long drive away. Alice Tran, PMHNP-BC changes that with secure telehealth.
Book an Appointment →Front Royal and Warren County live between worlds: close enough to Northern Virginia that many residents commute into its economy, far enough that its services, especially mental health care, rarely reach back. The result is familiar across the northern Valley: long waits, long drives, and a lot of people deciding their struggles do not merit either.
Alice hears Front Royal’s patterns clearly: commuters giving I-66 two hours a day and their families whatever is left; warehouse and distribution workers on schedules that fight the body clock; outdoors-loving people blindsided that living somewhere beautiful did not prevent depression; and families where anxiety has simply been called "nerves" for three generations.
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 Warren County 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.
No. All care for Front Royal patients is by secure video, with the Fairfax office available by choice, about an hour east, never by requirement.
Visits run fine on a phone’s cellular data, and a dropped connection converts the visit to phone rather than canceling it.
