What We Treat Across Texas
Texas’s size, its military communities (Fort Cavazos, Joint Base San Antonio, Dyess AFB, Sheppard AFB), and the full range of its population — urban, suburban, rural, border — create a wide spectrum of psychiatric need. We treat:
- Anxiety disorders: Generalized anxiety (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety, health anxiety, and OCD. High-pressure metro environments in Houston and Austin drive some of the highest anxiety presentation rates in the state.
- Depression: Major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, postpartum depression, and seasonal mood changes. We prescribe SSRIs, SNRIs, and other first-line antidepressants same day.
- PTSD and trauma: Texas has one of the largest military and veteran populations in the country. We treat service-related PTSD, combat trauma, moral injury, and civilian trauma across all subtypes. FDA-approved PTSD medications (sertraline, paroxetine, prazosin) prescribed via telehealth.
- Bipolar disorder: Bipolar I and II, mood stabilizer management, long-term psychiatric partnership for ongoing stability.
- OCD: All subtypes — contamination, harm OCD, checking, symmetry, Pure-O, scrupulosity. Higher SSRI doses per IOCDF/APA guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions — Texas Online Psychiatry
Can I get psychiatric medication prescribed online in Texas?
Yes. Samuel Omolade, PMHNP-BC is licensed and holds a Texas Controlled Substances Registration. Non-controlled medications — SSRIs, SNRIs, mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, sleep medications, buspirone, hydroxyzine — are prescribed same day and sent to your Texas pharmacy electronically. Benzodiazepines and stimulants have specific telehealth prescribing requirements under Texas law; your provider will discuss what applies to your situation at the appointment.
Do I need a referral for a Texas online psychiatrist?
No referral is required. You book directly through the scheduling portal — no call from your PCP, no insurance pre-authorization needed to schedule.
Does Texas insurance cover telepsychiatry?
Yes. The Texas Mental Health Parity Act requires commercial insurers to cover telehealth at the same rate as equivalent in-person care. We are in-network with Aetna, Cigna, UHC, Optum, and Carelon Behavioral Health.
How quickly can I be seen?
Same day or next day in most cases. The scheduling portal shows real-time availability — select a slot and you’re confirmed.
What is the difference between a PMHNP and a psychiatrist?
A Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) is a licensed prescriber with specialized graduate training in psychiatric diagnosis and medication management. PMHNPs can evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe medications for mental health conditions — the same clinical functions as a psychiatrist in most states. Samuel Omolade is board-certified (PMHNP-BC) by the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
Can I get an ESA letter in Texas through telehealth?
Yes. HUD-compliant emotional support animal letters are available after a clinical evaluation. The evaluation and letter can be completed in a single telehealth visit. We do not issue ESA letters without a genuine clinical assessment.
