Getting to know Shane Samuel
My path to psychiatry was driven by a deep desire to help people regain stability and well-being. I value the connections I build with my patients, taking the time to truly listen and understand your concerns.
With a collaborative, patient-centered approach, I create personalized treatment plans that align with your unique needs and goals. I believe mental health care should be supportive, empowering, and rooted in trust.
Specializing in ADHD, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder, I integrate evidence-based psychiatric care with lifestyle-based interventions to promote long-term stability.
I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice from Arizona State University’s Tempe campus, which has equipped me with advanced skills to provide comprehensive psychiatric care.
I have a background in community health initiatives, particularly in rural areas where access to psychiatric care can be limited. My experience treating complex mental health conditions has reinforced my belief that care should be accessible, nonjudgmental, and tailored to the individual.
Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, visiting coffee shops, and spending time with my family and cats. A longtime fan of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, I’m always up for a conversation about epic stories.
I’m also passionate about women’s health and animal welfare, dreaming of owning a farm where I can bring my love of nature and animals together.
What should a new client know about working with you?
A quick note on insurance: I know navigating insurance plans and copays can be confusing, so I want to be upfront about coverage before you book. I’m in-network with most health insurance plans, but I want to make sure there are no surprises when it comes to billing.
At this time, I’m not in-network with Medicaid plans, including AHCCCS (Arizona Medicaid) and Health First Colorado (Colorado Medicaid) — even if they’re combined with another type of insurance. Due to state regulations, I’m unable to see patients with Medicaid coverage.
If your insurance card lists your plan as a Community Plan, it is a Medicaid-sponsored health plan and is not accepted at our practice.
I truly wish I could treat everyone, but unfortunately, some types of coverage prevent me from providing care. If this applies to you, I completely understand how frustrating that may be and encourage you to check with your plan for in-network providers who can meet your needs.

Dr Shane was fantastic he listened and asked me question and produced me with a suitable treatment plan. Very happy with his service.
March 26, 2026Shaye H.Verified patientVideo visit
Only prescribes stimulants for 5 days a week. He expects you to raw dog it on your off days. If you complain about this he won't prescribe them at all. What happens if you get called into work on an off day? What if you need to get something done on your off days that you need mental focus for? It just makes no sense.

Good visit. Fast paced but thorough.
August 27, 2025Sara A.Verified patientVideo visit
The appointment felt rushed & I didn’t feel like they truly listened to what the issue was. I am unclear if they issued a diagnosis & where to see any patient records for myself.
Less than 1 year agoInitials hiddenVideo visit
I felt that I wasn't fully listened to on my concerns or things I found important. While he may be the right doctor for some patients, not so much for me.

Highly recommend!
June 27, 2025Dominik K.Verified patientVideo visit
Excellent experience with provider and staff. Dr. Samuel was professional, on time, and a great communicator and listener. I will definitely be back. I would also like to highlight the staff. I had questions about my insurance coverage, and got a response immediately. I would highly recommend this practice!
June 12, 2025Hannah A.Verified patientVideo visit
My experience with Shane Samuel was very good. I was nervous about my initial appointment and he helped guide the conversation to uncover my needs while sincerely listening to develop a treatment plan that would work best for me. I would highly recommend him for any mental health concerns or needs that you or a loved one may need to address.

Dr Samuel is very clear and understanding. He walked me through all the choices I had and next steps for whatever decision I made. Highly recommend!
May 28, 2025Francesca B.Verified patientVideo visit
i scheduled this appointment as a last ditch effort, following numerous failed attempts to get help. now im wondering why i didnt schedule with Dr. Samuel sooner. he is professional and communicative, but most importantly he prioritized listening and gaining insight before jumping to any conclusions. i am so grateful! i cannot recommend working with him enough.

The video visit was on time and efficient, but very thorough. Communication was excellent, both from the provider and from the office.
May 6, 2025Marguerite W.Verified patientVideo visit
Zocdoc made this entire process so fast,easy, & seamless. I was able to get a fast appointment with an inn provider that didn’t seem like I was just another number. He always seems to take my care and needs as a priority over number of office visits even if that means we have to stay on the call a little longer. Shane has been an amazing provider and has been a huge help in getting me back regulated on medication and making me feel heard and valued as a patient navigating mental health troubles.
March 24, 2025Dana Y.Verified patientVideo visit
I was very pleased with my visit. He was extremely gentle, calm, understanding and made me feel comfortable. I was very anxious but less by the second visit. We talked through a plan and so far so good.

Very communicative. Good listener. I talked to much and went ten minutes over and he was very courteous to let me continue and politely brought our appointment to a successful end with a treatment plan
January 22, 2025Christopher S.Verified patientVideo visit
Shane was easy to communicate with and very friendly and kind. We felt like we were heard during our meeting, and he seemed confident that he could take this journey with us to best support our son and his unique needs.
January 15, 2025Benjamin S.Verified patientVideo visit
Amazing provider, unfortunately even though I’m a resident of Arizona, I do travel for work and because I’m not able to afford to fly out to Arizona once a month to be physically in the state for an appointment I can’t be seen by him. This is not the fault of the provider or the company. It’s just one of those stupid laws that we have to follow in medicine. If I can continue seeing this provider, I absolutely would.
January 7, 2025Starr-lark D.Verified patientVideo visit
Dr. Samuel was so easy to connect and chat with. He took the time to ask background questions to assess my history, and gave great medical advice. Scheduling with him was very quick, and communicating prior to the appointment via his texting system was highly convenient, and appreciated. Rare find and I highly recommend!
December 19, 2024Christina M.Verified patientVideo visit
I just moved states and was worried I wouldn't be able to find a psychiatrist to help continue my treatment. Shane Samuel had same day availability and seems like a very attentive, knowledgable and caring nurse practitioner. I had a great experience with him and I look forward to continuing treatment with him!
