Online Psychiatrist in McKinney, TX
Care provided by Samuel Omolade, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner licensed in Texas.
McKinney has grown faster than its psychiatric care. The Collin County seat added whole neighborhoods north and west of the historic square in a few years, and many families who moved here for schools and space find local psychiatry appointments booked weeks out. Samz Mental Health sees McKinney adults by secure video, usually the same day or the next, for evaluation and medication management. You don’t need a referral, and you don’t need to drive down US-75 for a visit.
Usually same day or next day
Secure video, anywhere in Texas
$120 first visit, $90 follow-ups

Who We See in McKinney
A lot of our McKinney patients are recent arrivals. Relocating for a job in the Legacy or Craig Ranch corridors, starting over without a local support network, and juggling young kids in a new school district can bring anxiety or depression to the surface, or make an existing condition harder to manage. Others have lived here for years and simply can’t get a timely appointment.
We also see Collin College students, healthcare staff from the hospitals along the 121 and 75 corridors, and parents who need a visit that fits between school drop-off and pickup. Because visits are by video, you can join from home in Stonebridge Ranch or Tucker Hill, from a parked car outside the office, or from any private spot in Texas.
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 Texas

McKinney Patient Questions
Do you see patients in Melissa, Anna and Princeton?
Yes. Visits work anywhere in Texas, so patients in Melissa, Anna, Princeton, Fairview and the rest of Collin County can book the same way McKinney residents do.
Can parents book while kids are at school?
Yes. Midday video slots are often open, and follow-ups take 15 to 30 minutes, so many parents fit them between drop-off and pickup.
I just moved to McKinney. Can you continue my medication?
Usually, for non-controlled medications. Bring your current medication list and pharmacy, and records from your last prescriber if you have them. Controlled medications need a fuller assessment before they can be continued.
Can my prescription go to a McKinney pharmacy?
Yes. Prescriptions are sent electronically to any Texas pharmacy you choose.
