Online Psychiatrist in Bowie, MD
Care provided by Samuel Omolade, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner licensed in Maryland.
Bowie is Prince George’s County’s largest city, and much of it commutes into Washington every day. Between the drive on Route 50 and long workdays, a weekday psychiatry appointment is hard to fit in, and in-network practices in the county often have waitlists. Samz Mental Health sees Bowie 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 Bowie
Many of our Bowie patients are federal employees, contractors and professionals who work in DC or along the Beltway and carry employer insurance. Anxiety, depression, insomnia and work stress are the most common reasons they book. Video visits work on telework days or from home in the evening, without fighting traffic to an office.
Bowie is a predominantly Black, middle-class community, and many patients tell us they want a provider who understands that culturally competent, judgment-free care matters. We also see Bowie State University students, healthcare and education workers, and families in Bowie’s newer neighborhoods and the surrounding parts of the county.
