Virginia Beach deserves psychiatric care without the wait, and telehealth brings it to your living room. Alice Tran, PMHNP-BC provides full psychiatric care by secure video anywhere in Virginia, in English and Tiếng Việt. No referral needed.
Book an Appointment →Virginia Beach is Virginia's largest city: military families absorbing deployments and PCS moves, tourism workers on unforgiving schedules, and hundreds of thousands of adults competing for too few psychiatric appointments. Secure telehealth removes the drive and the waitlist: full evaluations, medication management, and follow-up from home, in English or Vietnamese.
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.

From high-functioning anxiety hidden behind achievement to depression that makes every day heavier, treatment is tailored to how it actually shows up in your life.
Being the family translator, the achiever, or the peacemaker is heavy work. That weight is taken seriously in evaluation and treatment.
Bright, capable, and constantly behind: that pattern deserves a proper ADHD evaluation, not another productivity app.
Virginia Beach has one of the largest veteran populations in the country, and the hardest stretch for many of them is not deployment. It is the first year or two after separation, when the structure disappears all at once.
In the service, the day is decided for you. Purpose is assigned, the team is built in, and identity comes with the job. Then it stops, and a person who handled genuinely difficult things finds themselves rattled by an ordinary civilian week. That is not weakness and it is not a character problem. It is what happens when scaffolding is removed faster than a person can rebuild it.
What tends to show up is sleep that will not regulate, irritability with people who have done nothing wrong, drinking that crept up quietly, and a flatness where motivation used to be. Depression and anxiety are the common diagnoses. PTSD is sometimes part of it and often is not, which matters, because assuming trauma is the whole story can mean the actual problem goes untreated.
Care here is available outside the VA system, with no wait list. It does not replace your VA benefits and it can run alongside them.
Years of shift work, watch rotations, and deployment schedules leave a nervous system that does not trust nighttime. It is treatable, and it is usually the first thing worth fixing.
Common, rarely mentioned, and worth saying out loud in a room where nobody is going to react badly to it.

Many people searching for a psychiatrist in Virginia Beach 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.
