Bio

Dr. Mindy Tran is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who provides neurodiversity-affirming psychiatric evaluation and medication management for children, adolescents, and adults. Her work centers on understanding each person's story and how their symptoms show up in daily life, with careful attention to diagnostic clarity and to what genuinely helps someone feel more grounded, focused, and in control. She is collaborative and pragmatic in her approach, building treatment plans that are clear, supportive, and tailored, whether medication is the focus or one piece of a broader care picture.

“Great-Fit” Clients

Mindy may be a particularly good fit if you or your family are:

• Living with ADHD or anxiety and looking for practical, structured support around focus, overwhelm, and day-to-day functioning

• Navigating complex or overlapping symptoms, such as anxiety, mood, ADHD, autism, or trauma, and want a thoughtful, collaborative approach to diagnosis and treatment

• Considering medication as part of comprehensive care, including as an adjunct to therapy, and want a prescriber who explains the reasoning, the options, and the tradeoffs clearly

• Seeking culturally responsive psychiatric care, including services in Vietnamese

• Wanting a clinician who takes time to understand the full clinical picture and who values close collaboration with your therapist or psychologist

ADHD and Neurodivergence

Mindy specializes in psychiatric care for ADHD and co-occurring neurodevelopmental presentations across the lifespan. Her work includes diagnostic clarification, medication evaluation, and ongoing management, with attention to executive functioning, sleep, anxiety, and the day-to-day patterns that shape how ADHD shows up at school, at work, and in relationships.

She has completed Autism Center of Excellence training and works with autistic clients and with clients whose autism and ADHD overlap. Her approach is strengths-based and practical, focused on what helps a person function and feel well rather than on conformity to neurotypical expectations. For families, she emphasizes practical guidance that can be applied at home and at school, and she works closely with the broader care team to keep recommendations coherent and developmentally appropriate.

Anxiety, Mood, and Trauma

Mindy provides psychiatric evaluation and medication management for anxiety and panic, depression and mood disorders, and trauma- and stress-related conditions. She is particularly experienced with clients whose presentations cross categories, where anxiety, mood, attention, and trauma history all contribute to what someone is living with day to day.

Her clinical orientation is collaborative and pragmatic. She works to understand the context for a person's symptoms and to build a treatment plan that feels coherent rather than fragmented, especially when therapy and medication are working in parallel. Clients describe her style as warm, thoughtful, and clear, with space to ask questions and revisit decisions as needs evolve.

Bilingual and Culturally-Responsive Care

Mindy is bilingual in English and Vietnamese and offers psychiatric care in both languages. She brings significant experience working in community mental health with diverse and underserved populations into a practice that prioritizes accessibility, respect, and cultural responsiveness. For Vietnamese-speaking families navigating a U.S. mental health system that does not always reflect their experience, she offers care that is linguistically and culturally grounded.

Background and Training

Mindy holds a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and is board-certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). Her clinical background spans inpatient psychiatric care, community mental health, and outpatient psychiatric evaluation and medication management. She has additional training in ADHD and autism, including completion of the Autism Center of Excellence (COE) training program. At OpenWorld, she works in close collaboration with the assessment and therapy teams to deliver coordinated, neurodiversity-affirming care under one roof.
