Getting to know Emily Samuel
Emily is a California Board Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a Master’s degree in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from the University of Maryland. She provides medication management and psychotherapy, currently focusing primarily on holistic outpatient psychiatry and addiction psychiatry. Emily’s therapeutic approach combines supportive therapy and motivational interviewing; she thoroughly evaluates your entire mental health in a way that makes you feel connected and supported. She offers positive energy, strength for recovery and healing, and health coaching. At this time, she is offering video chat appointments for your convenience, privacy, and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic.
These are my specialties, and I will most likely be able to help you manage these symptoms:
• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Anxiety (panic attacks, social anxiety)
• Binge eating disorder
• Depression or mood instability
• Insomnia or trouble sleeping
• Obsessive compulsive disorder (including skin picking, hair pulling)
• PTSD/trauma
• Schizophrenia and/or psychotic symptoms
• Bipolar disorder and/or other mood disorders
• Substance abuse/co-occurring mental health issues
*I do not provide individualized psychotherapy as a standalone service but do offer brief therapy alongside medication management. If you are seeking only one-on-one therapy sessions, I would not be a good fit for you at this time.*

What is your typical process for working with clients?
Thank you for your interest in joining my mental health outpatient clinic. The first visit is a consultation appointment to get to know each other and see what issues or symptoms you are currently experiencing and if I am able to treat these issues for you. I generally do not prescribe medications at the first visit unless clinically indicated. Sometimes it takes 2-3 appointments to develop a treatment plan and start medication. If you are in a crisis and need medication or psychiatric intervention immediately, please call 911, contact your previous provider, or contact a crisis center.
