Online Psychiatrist in Katy, TX
Care provided by Samuel Omolade, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner licensed in Texas.
The Katy area has grown into one of the largest suburban communities in Texas, far bigger than the small city at its center. Psychiatric care hasn’t kept pace, and for many families the realistic option is a long drive east on I-10. Samz Mental Health sees Katy-area adults by secure video, usually the same day or the next, for evaluation, diagnosis and medication management. No referral is needed.
Usually same day or next day
Secure video, anywhere in Texas

Who We See in Katy
Katy is family country. Many of our patients are parents in master-planned communities like Cinco Ranch and Cross Creek Ranch, balancing jobs in the Energy Corridor or downtown with school, activities and long commutes. Anxiety, depression, postpartum mood problems and insomnia are among the most common reasons they book.
We also see energy and engineering professionals who travel frequently, families who recently moved to the area for a job, and students at the University of Houston at Katy. A video follow-up of 15 to 30 minutes fits around a school day or a workday far better than a trip into the city.
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
