Yorktown and greater York County run on service: Navy and Coast Guard families, shipyard commuters, NASA and refinery shifts. Alice Tran, PMHNP-BC offers psychiatric care by secure telehealth across the Peninsula.
Book an Appointment →York County looks like the Peninsula’s calmest corner, good schools, waterfront, history, but its households carry serious loads: deployments from the Naval Weapons Station and Coast Guard Training Center, shipyard schedules in Newport News, federal and NASA Langley careers, and the constant churn of military moves that ask families to rebuild their lives every few years.
Alice sees the York County patterns often: military spouses holding everything together through deployment cycles and paying for it in anxiety and sleeplessness; service members and veterans who want mental health care outside the chain of command; shipyard and refinery workers on rotations that scramble any circadian rhythm; and high-achieving teens-turned-adults from the county’s competitive schools who never learned to rest.
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, by secure telehealth across the Peninsula. Care stays private and independent of any command. Most major insurance is accepted, and new patients are typically seen within one to two weeks.
Deployment stress on both ends of it, reintegration, and PCS whiplash, treated privately, outside any command structure.
Rotating schedules and hard deadlines wreck sleep first, mood second. Treatment built around the rotation.
Private care alongside or instead of the VA, coordinated with your VA team whenever you choose.
The county’s excellence culture produces adults who cannot idle. That hum is treatable.

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.
Completely: an independent civilian practice, HIPAA-protected, with nothing reported to any command. Concerns about clearances or flight status get straight answers at the first visit.
Contact the office to verify current participation for your specific plan; most major commercial plans plus Medicare and Medicaid are accepted.
While you are stationed in Virginia, yes, seamlessly. If orders take you out of state, Alice helps transition your care properly.
Yes, and often. The one holding down the home front carries a documented mental health load that deserves its own care.
Typically within one to two weeks, by video from anywhere on the Peninsula.
Yes: proper evaluation of the sleep disruption plus the anxiety or depression riding along, rather than a reflexive sleeping pill.
Electronically, same day, to any pharmacy you use in Yorktown, Grafton, or anywhere on the Peninsula.
Not a crisis service. Call or text 988 (veterans: press 1), or go to the nearest emergency department, including Riverside Regional or Sentara Williamsburg.
