Online Psychiatrist in Hagerstown, MD
Care provided by Samuel Omolade, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner licensed in Maryland.
Western Maryland has far fewer psychiatric prescribers than the Baltimore–Washington corridor, and Hagerstown residents often wait weeks or drive to Frederick for care.

Who We See in Hagerstown
Hagerstown sits where I-81 and I-70 cross, and that crossroads has made it a major distribution and logistics hub. Many of our patients here work rotating or overnight shifts in warehouses, trucking or manufacturing, and sleep problems, anxiety and depression are common. Short video follow-ups can be scheduled around those shifts.
We also see healthcare workers, Hagerstown Community College students, and families in the smaller towns of Washington County, where a psychiatrist can be a long drive away. Because Pennsylvania and West Virginia are minutes away, note that visits must take place while you’re in Maryland.
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 Maryland
