Getting to know Samantha O'Donnell
My name is Samantha O'Donnell. I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with 7 years of experience treating teens (12+) and adults. Unlike traditional approaches, I focus on the root cause of your struggles. I find and treat the "why" behind your symptoms to help you achieve lasting mental well-being and lead a happier, healthier life.
My approach
Mental health is unique to each person and I believe treatments should be tailored to each person as well! Together, we will work to understand your symptoms by exploring biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors. From there, we'll create a personalized treatment plan - medication is an option, but we'll also consider lifestyle changes to empower a healthy, happy life.
My focus
I have experience treating patients 12+ and older into late adulthood but I typically find myself treating girls and women. From navigating teen years to adult challenges, I help women overcome common struggles like anxiety, stress, low mood, hormonal changes, sleep disturbances, burnout, and fatigue.
My communication style
I believe open communication is key. I offer a direct and honest approach while remaining sincerely compassionate and welcoming. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel comfortable discussing anything that's on your mind, no matter how big or small.
My journey to mental healthcare
My desire to help people drew me to nursing, but witnessing the underserved world of mental health ignited a deeper passion. The prevalence of mental health struggles, often hidden in silence due to stigma, compelled me to become a mental health nurse practitioner. I believe everyone deserves quality mental healthcare, just like addressing any physical illness.
My goals for you
I believe in working together to set goals that are meaningful and achievable for you. I encourage a collaborative approach, where we discuss your goals and identify specific steps to reach them.

I tried getting in touch with Samantha and her office and it kept going to voicemail. I did not receive a video call link. I called Zoc
doc and they also couldn’t get in touch with her.
