Waynesboro works with its hands: manufacturing, trades, healthcare, and the river-and-ridge life of the central Valley. Alice Tran, PMHNP-BC brings psychiatric care here by secure telehealth, practical and judgment-free.
Book an Appointment →Waynesboro sits in the Valley’s working middle: plants and skilled trades, Augusta Health jobs, families whose weeks are budgeted to the hour. Around here, mental health struggles usually get renamed something more acceptable, stress, temper, tiredness, and pushed down the priority list until they push back.
What Alice sees from Waynesboro: depression worn as exhaustion by people who have not had a real day off in years; anxiety expressed as irritability that strains marriages; alcohol quietly doing the work medication should be doing; and adults raising kids on the same self-reliance that kept their own struggles untreated.
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 Waynesboro 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.
Video follow-ups are 30 minutes, offered Monday through Thursday between 9 and 4; afternoon slots after early shifts work well, and no commute is ever added.
Yes, along with Medicare, Anthem, Aetna, Cigna, and most major plans.
Very possibly. Irritability is one of the most common faces of depression in men especially, and the evaluation is built to look past the label to the cause.
No. Alcohol gets discussed honestly because it changes medication safety, not to lecture you. Plenty of patients cut back naturally once the underlying symptoms are treated.
Typically within one to two weeks.
Same day, electronically, to any Waynesboro pharmacy.
Yes, each adult with their own confidential care.
