Care provided by Samuel Omolade, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner licensed in Texas.
Richardson runs on demanding schedules. Between the Telecom Corridor, the corporate campuses at CityLine and thousands of UT Dallas students, a lot of people here need psychiatric care that fits around long workdays, lab hours and exams. Samz Mental Health sees Richardson adults by secure video, usually the same day or the next, for evaluation, diagnosis and medication management. No referral is needed.

Who We See in Richardson
Many of our Richardson patients are tech, finance and corporate employees whose anxiety, depression or insomnia has crept up alongside high-pressure jobs. Others are graduate and international students at UT Dallas managing academic pressure, visa uncertainty and distance from family. Both groups tend to put off care because they can’t spare a half day for an appointment.
Video visits remove that barrier. A first visit takes about an hour; follow-ups take 15 to 30 minutes and can happen from a private office, a study room or a parked car. We also see long-time residents of Richardson’s older neighborhoods who want a prescriber they can reach quickly.
What We Treat
Visits cover psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis and medication management for adults. Common reasons people book:
- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Depression, including postpartum depression
- PTSD and trauma and OCD
- Bipolar disorder and insomnia
- Medication management and prescriber transfers
- ESA letter evaluations in Texas
