Online Psychiatrist in Farmington, NM
Care provided by Samuel Omolade, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner licensed in New Mexico.
Farmington anchors the Four Corners, about three hours from Albuquerque, in a region where psychiatric prescribers are extremely scarce. Many residents wait months or travel out of the area for a medication visit. Samz Mental Health sees Farmington 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 Farmington
Oil and gas, energy and the businesses that serve them have long driven San Juan County’s economy, and the industry’s booms, busts and long rotations take a toll. Many of our Farmington patients work demanding field schedules or have lived through layoffs and plant closures. Anxiety, depression, sleep problems and stress are common reasons they book.
We also see San Juan College students, healthcare workers, and families across the county, including members of the Navajo Nation who carry private insurance. Because Colorado, Utah and Arizona are all nearby, note that visits must take place while you’re in New Mexico, or in Colorado, which is also one of our licensed states.
What We Treat

- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Depression, including postpartum depression
- PTSD and trauma and OCD
