Williamsburg balances three worlds: William & Mary’s intensity, a tourism economy that never fully clocks out, and one of Virginia’s largest retirement communities. Alice Tran, PMHNP-BC serves all three by secure telehealth.
Book an Appointment →The postcard version of Williamsburg hides how much pressure the real one carries. William & Mary students face one of the most academically intense environments in the state, at exactly the ages when anxiety, depression, and ADHD surface. The tourism and hospitality workforce that powers Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens rides seasonal swings in hours and income that would strain anyone’s mental health. And the area’s large retiree community navigates transitions, losses, and health changes that too often get dismissed as "just aging."
Alice treats all three Williamsburgs: the student whose perfectionism has turned on them; the server or front-desk manager whose off-season anxiety becomes on-season burnout; the recent retiree who did everything right and feels inexplicably flat; and the adult children in between, managing careers while keeping an eye on aging parents in Ford’s Colony or Kingsmill.
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 Williamsburg patients. Most major insurance is accepted, including 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.
