Hi, I’m Sam!

Feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or like no one truly listens to what you're going through?


You’re not alone. I’m here to help.

I’m Samantha ("Sam") O'Donnell, a psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner with over 8 years of experience helping people just like you navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and life’s stressors.

I work with children, (8+),teens, young adults, women, and anyone ready to stop just surviving — and start thriving.

My Approach

Collaborative

I see every patient as a partner in their care. You bring your lived experience; I bring evidence-based expertise. Together, we design a treatment plan that fits your goals, lifestyle, and values, because mental health care should never be one size fits all.

Transformative

My goal for you goes beyond symptom relief; it’s helping you build the tools and mindset to feel grounded, confident, and capable in every area of life.

Empowering

I believe mental health care should help you take your power back. My goal is to educate, guide, and support you so you can make informed decisions about your brain, your body, and your well-being.

A Holistic Approach to Care

  • Medication can prove to be extremely beneficial for some people and can improve certain symptoms. Before starting a medication, we will discuss the potential benefits, side effects, and alternatives so you can make an informed decision.

  • Getting 8 hours of sleep is no longer enough. The quality of the sleep is just as important, if not more important. Getting quality sleep allows our brains to detox. Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep or waking up too early can negatively affect your mental health.

  • The Standard American Diet is typically filled with processed foods that lack nutrients. Nutrient deficiencies are common and can contribute to a wide range of symptoms.

  • Loneliness has detrimental effects on mental health. Having a healthy support system and people surrounding you will be critical to improving mental health.

  • The benefits of exercise and movement are endless. In addition to increasing blood flow to the brain, exercise helps release feel good hormones and increases BDNF.

  • Chronic stress both damages the brain and the body. Finding habits that manage stress are crucial for mental and physical health.
