Samuel Castro, PMHNP

Family Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
CA
I’m Sam, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. My background includes over 10 years of experience in the emergency department, crisis stabilization units, inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings. This experience has shaped the way I approach care delivery: calmly, directly, with a strong focus on safety, trust, and support.\n\nMy work includes seeing clients experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, mood changes, sleep concerns, emotional overwhelm as well as life stressors. I provide medication management and psychiatric evaluations, with the goal of helping clients feel heard, understood, and actively involved in their treatment plan. Additionally, I offer specialized ketamine treatment as an innovative, evidence-based option for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma-related distress, grief, or burnout.

Don’t see your insurance?

It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
