Care provided by Samuel Omolade, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner licensed in Texas.
The Woodlands has excellent hospitals, but outpatient psychiatry appointments that take insurance are still hard to come by.

Who We See in The Woodlands
The Woodlands is home to a large share of the Houston area’s energy, engineering and corporate workforce, and many of our patients here are professionals with demanding jobs, long commutes and frequent travel. Anxiety, depression, insomnia and burnout are the most common reasons they book, often after months of putting care off because there was never a good time.
We also see parents across the villages who are managing busy family schedules, people who relocated for a job and need a new Texas prescriber, and students at Lone Star College–Montgomery. Video visits work from home in Sterling Ridge or Alden Bridge, a private office near Hughes Landing, or anywhere else in Texas.

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