Petersburg has carried more than its share, and been offered less than its share of care. Alice Tran, PMHNP-BC brings real psychiatric treatment to Petersburg by secure telehealth: no waitlist marathon, no drive to Richmond.
Book an Appointment →Petersburg’s health statistics have made headlines for the wrong reasons for years, and mental health sits at the center of that story: high rates of depression and anxiety, deep provider shortages, and generations of residents who learned that asking for help mostly meant waiting rooms and waitlists. The city’s renewal, new industry, pharmaceutical manufacturing, downtown investment, will not be complete until its people’s health renews with it.
Alice approaches Petersburg patients with respect for what carrying-on has cost: depression treated as a private burden for years; anxiety and hypertension feeding each other; grief stacked on grief in families that never got a pause to process any of it; and faith communities doing heroic support work that deserves clinical backup, not replacement.
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 Petersburg patients. Most major insurance is accepted, including Medicaid and Medicare, no referral is needed, and new patients are typically seen within one to two weeks.
Many Petersburg patients start from zero. The first appointment is built to be a conversation, not a gauntlet.
Mind and body stress compound each other. Care that coordinates with your primary care provider, with your permission.
Loss stacked on loss deserves more than pushing through. Grief that has hardened into depression treats well.
Treatment here works alongside your faith and your church community, never against them.

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.
Yes, fully, along with Medicare and major commercial plans. Coverage is verified before your first visit, and transparent self-pay rates exist for anyone between coverage.
Yes. For evaluation, medication management, and follow-up, research shows the same outcomes as office visits, with far better access.
Because managing is not the same as living, and modern treatment works even on symptoms that are decades old. Starting now beats starting never.
No. Medication and prayer are not competitors; plenty of patients bring both, and Alice respects that fully.
Typically within one to two weeks.
Same day, electronically, to any Petersburg pharmacy you choose.
Adults 18 to 65, each with their own confidential care, yes.
