Online Psychiatrist in Palm Bay, FL
Care provided by Samuel Omolade, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner licensed in Florida.
Palm Bay is the largest city in Brevard County, and it has grown much faster than the psychiatric care available on the Space Coast. New-patient appointments can take weeks, and many residents drive north to Melbourne or Viera for a short medication check. Samz Mental Health sees Palm Bay 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 Palm Bay
The Space Coast’s aerospace and defense industry employs a lot of Palm Bay residents, often in high-pressure engineering, manufacturing and technical roles with irregular hours around launches and deadlines. Anxiety, depression and sleep problems are common reasons they book, and a short video follow-up is far easier to keep than a midday drive.
We also see young families who moved to Palm Bay for more affordable housing, retirees, healthcare workers, and students at Eastern Florida State College and nearby Florida Tech. After hurricane seasons, some patients find that storm-related anxiety or sleep problems linger long after the cleanup. That’s common and treatable.
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 Florida
