Online Psychiatrist in Towson, MD
Care provided by Samuel Omolade, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner licensed in Maryland.
Towson is Baltimore County’s seat and a college town, with some of the region’s best-known hospitals within a few miles. Even so, getting an outpatient medication management appointment quickly can be surprisingly hard. Samz Mental Health sees Towson 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 Towson
Towson University and Goucher College together bring thousands of students to town. Many arrive on a medication prescribed back home or develop anxiety and depression during the academic year, and campus counseling centers often have limited prescriber time. We see students by video from a dorm or apartment.
Towson’s hospitals also employ a large number of nurses, residents and support staff working long shifts, and we see many of them for anxiety, depression, insomnia and burnout. Families in Rodgers Forge, Stoneleigh, Lutherville and Timonium, and county employees downtown, make up much of the rest.

- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Depression, including postpartum depression
- PTSD and trauma and OCD
- Bipolar disorder and insomnia
