Online Psychiatrist in Gallup, NM

Care provided by Samuel Omolade, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner licensed in New Mexico.

Gallup is the regional center for a vast stretch of Northwest New Mexico, more than two hours from Albuquerque, and psychiatric prescribers here are among the hardest to reach in the state. Samz Mental Health sees Gallup-area 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 Gallup

Gallup is a trading, healthcare and transportation hub on I-40, bordered by the Navajo Nation and close to Zuni Pueblo. Many of our patients are healthcare workers, teachers, government and tribal employees, and families from surrounding communities who drive long distances for nearly every kind of appointment. A video visit from home or work removes that drive.

We see patients with employer-sponsored insurance or self-pay, including Native patients who have commercial coverage through work. We also see UNM-Gallup students and people in Grants, Thoreau and other towns along the corridor. Anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms and sleep problems are common reasons people book.

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 New Mexico

Gallup Patient Questions

I live in Arizona near Window Rock. Can I be seen?

Only while you’re in New Mexico during the visit. We aren’t licensed in Arizona, so you’d need to join from the New Mexico side, such as your workplace in Gallup.

Can I use my employer insurance if I also have IHS eligibility?

Yes. If you have an Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Optum or Carelon plan through work, you can use it with us. We don’t accept Medicaid, and self-pay is $120 for the first visit and $90 for follow-ups.

Do you see patients in Grants, Thoreau, Zuni and Crownpoint?

Yes, anywhere in New Mexico with a stable internet or cell connection. A phone with a camera works.

Can UNM-Gallup students book?

Yes, adult students can book with an in-network plan or self-pay.

Who do I call in a crisis in McKinley County?
