*Medication management only, not offering sole therapy treatment *No controlled medications (i.e. stimulant medications for ADHD, benzodiazepines for anxiety) *I do not treat solely for ADHD and do not do full assessments for ADHD Hello, I'm Dr. Tran. Do you feel like your psychiatric provider isn't listening and treating you like another check on their checklist? Do you struggle with anxiety and mood that have been difficult to manage on your own or even with therapy? I'd like to help you manage your symptoms but also to listen to your personal story to best come up with a treatment plan for you. I am a board-certified psychiatrist who has been practicing in the Austin area for over 8 years. I have particular interest in treating anxiety disorders, mood disorders, OCD and psychotic disorders. I truly believe that psychiatry is more than a list of diagnoses, rather it involves getting to know people instead of putting them in a box. I feel it is important to get to know you as a whole to best treat you. I also enjoy collaborating with my patients and providing education so that we can come up with the best plan for you that makes you feel comfortable. I believe that working as a team is important in this line of medicine. Limitations to care: Please be aware I do not 1. Conduct telemedicine visits with patients located outside of the state of Texas.  2. Prescribe controlled medications (e.g. stimulant medications for ADHD and benzodiazepines for anxiety) as I am unable to physically monitor for side effects due to my current telehealth format. 3. Write letters for emotional support animals. 4. Complete disability/FMLA paperwork for new patients.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, I will spend time to not only come to a diagnosis together but also get to know you and your history to better understand you as a whole. This will hopefully help to build a foundation for us to work together collaboratively in your mental health journey.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I use a combination of interviewing and evidence-based questionnaires to arrive at likely diagnoses and prescribe medications to help treat your symptoms. I also strongly encourage regular therapy as an important part of your psychiatric treatment. Of note, at this time, I am unable to prescribe controlled medications as I am unable to physically monitor for side effects due to my current telehealth format.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My biggest strengths are listening and working with you as a team towards managing your mental health.
