Solstice Psychiatry

Thoughtful psychiatric care for children, adolescents, and young adults seeking clarity, balance, & lasting change.

At Solstice Psychiatry, care begins with understanding the whole person—not just a diagnosis. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and collaborative treatment planning for children, adolescents, and adults through age 35.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, OCD, ADHD, depression, emotional overwhelm, trauma-related symptoms, autism spectrum concerns, or major life transitions, my goal is to help you better understand yourself and create a treatment plan that genuinely fits your life. For children and adolescents, I work collaboratively with parents and caregivers, recognizing that meaningful progress happens when families feel informed, supported, and included in the treatment process.

I take a thoughtful, evidence-based approach that balances clinical expertise with genuine curiosity and compassion. Appointments are never rushed and are designed to help patients—and families when appropriate—feel heard, empowered, and confident in the path forward.

Currently accepting patients ages 6-35 throughout Oregon via secure telehealth.

About me—

Samantha Reis, DNP, PMHNP-BC

As a doctorally trained and board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner educated at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), my approach to care is grounded both in clinical expertise and genuine human connection. Before becoming a nurse practitioner, I worked in residential psychiatric care with children and adolescents experiencing some of the highest levels of psychiatric acuity in the state—experiences that deeply shaped the way I understand resilience, emotional suffering, and the importance of compassionate care.

Today, I work with children, adolescents and young adults navigating anxiety, OCD, ADHD, depression, trauma, neurodivergence, and life's many transitions. I strive to create a calm, supportive place where patients feel safe asking questions, exploring concerns, and working collaboratively toward meaningful change.

When caring for children and adolescents, I enjoy partnering closely with parents and caregivers. I believe families play an essential role in treatment and value helping parents better understand their child’s unique needs while developing practical strategies that support success at home, at school, and everyday life.

Whether we’re pursuing diagnostic clarity, exploring treatment options, or fine-tuning an existing plan, my goal is always the same: to help patients and families feel heard, empowered, and confident in the path forward. .

FAQs

  • I am available most weekdays after 5 pm, and I have limited openings on weekends.

  • Solstice Psychiatry is currently a private-pay practice and does not accept insurance. Upon request, a superbill may be provided for patients interested in seeking potential out-of-network reimbursement through their insurance plan.

  • I extend a one-time courtesy for late cancellations or missed appointments — because sometimes, life simply doesn't cooperate. After that, a $150 fee is applied to any appointment cancelled or missed within 24 hours of its scheduled time. This allows me to honor the time and care reserved for each person I serve.

  • Solstice Psychiatry currently offers telehealth appointments for adults located in Oregon. Telehealth allows for flexible, accessible psychiatric care from the comfort of home. Limited in-person availability may be offered in the future.

  • My practice is currently focused on children, adolescents, and adults ages 6 to 35 years old, with a particular interest in anxiety/OCD, ADHD, autism, life transitions, trauma, and depression.

  • I commonly work with children, teens, and young adults experiencing anxiety disorders, emotional dysregulation, trauma-related symptoms, school or academic challenges, and autism spectrum-related concerns. Many patients come to Solstice Psychiatry seeking diagnostic clarity after feeling unheard, misunderstood, or uncertain whether previous treatment fully captured their experiences. Together, we’ll develop an individualized treatment plan that supports success at home, school, and throughout everyday life.

  • I practice thoughtful diagnostic clarification, including the ways trauma, neurodivergence, masking, chronic stress, and longstanding emotional patterns can shape mental health over time. My approach is collaborative, affirming, and individualized, with attention to the broader context of each patient’s lived experience. I believe in evidence-based care, which works best when patients feel heard, informed, and actively involved in treatment decisions. Rather than rushed prescribing, I prioritize careful evaluation. I also enjoy working with families and caregivers when appropriate.

  • Solstice Psychiatry is best suited for individuals appropriate for outpatient telehealth treatment. Patients requiring higher levels of care, active crisis services, or complex medical management may be referred to providers or programs better equipped to support those needs.

  • Initial evaluations are comprehensive and designed to better understand your symptoms, history, goals, and previous treatment experiences. Appointments typically include discussion of diagnostic impressions, treatment recommendations, and collaborative planning for next steps.

  • -Initial evaluation: $300
