Samir is the kindest, most attentive healthcare professional I’ve had the pleasure of working with. He clearly cares very deeply about helping with my health improvements. It’s amazing that he remembers what I’ve told him in past appointments and asks insightful questions to understand my situation better. He’s a genuine pleasure to work with, I’d highly recommend him for anyone who’s looking for an extremely helpful and professional provider.

The stars have aligned and I got lucky working with Dr Samir Hamid. To say that he’s a lifesaver would be an understatement, I can’t put into words how wonderful and compassionate he is, from the get go he listened to me carefully, never pushed anything on me, he’s so gentle in his approach but powerful with his practice, I’m a completely different person now, going from a beaten up, bone marrow transplant patient with PTSD, panic disorder to working full time and actually enjoying my life.

Thank you Hamid for saving my life, and for showing me that getting better was possible, thank you for your generosity and for your efforts, I’m a better man today and I’m looking forward to the future, thanks to you.

I highly recommend Samir Hamid to anyone seeking to improve their mental health and life, Samir Hamid actually listens, if you’ve cycled between different providers and felt like you were being treated as a mere number and not being heard, then Samir will change that for you and he will restore your faith I promise, as he has done for me.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars, but I hope I did so in my honest review.

Thank you so much Hamid, you’ve saved my life and I’m looking forward to more improvements.

He is someone that is kind, professional, and personable, and I could not be any happier with my experience here! Highly recommended to anyone that is looking for help 🙂

Samir is amazing at his craft. He genuinely cares for his patients, and he takes his time as well, allowing you to really voice your situation and how you feel. With his amazing bed side manners, his knowledge about medication, he was able to get me on the best medication management plan suited for me.

Samir is absolutely amazing! He really listens to what you have to say and provides his recommendations for medications that will help! At the same time, he listens to your wants/needs about staying away from certain types of medications due to the negative effects they have on you! Highly recommend him!!!

How much does Brainpower cost without insurance?
We have the option of private pay for our patients who don’t fall into a category of in-network insurance. The charges would be $250–$400 for an initial consultation and $125–$200 for follow-up visits. However, the final cost depends on the provider’s experience level and the services provided.
We offer many in-house services in several California locations, including Orange, Corona, and Long Beach. We also provide telehealth/telepsychiatry services for our patients across the USA, but it is necessary for them to have in-house sessions with us and later they can continue their online sessions.
Brainpower Wellness Institute has locations throughout California. We serve in areas like Orange County (e.g., Anaheim, Irvine, Santa Ana, Tustin) and Greater Los Angeles (e.g., Los Angeles, Long Beach). Yes, we specialize in Psychiatric Medication Management as part of our services.

While their physical locations are concentrated in other parts of Southern California, Brainpower Wellness Institute offers a range of services, including medications and therapy (integrative treatment), group therapy, neurofeedback, and cognitive testing, often accessible via telehealth for San Diego residents.
An initial psychiatric consultation at Brainpower Wellness Institute typically ranges from $250 to $400, with follow-up visits costing between $125 and $200, depending on the provider and service complexity. They accept most major health insurance plans.
We treat a wide array of conditions, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and perinatal/postpartum mental health issues, with personalized treatment plans that often combine medication management with therapeutic strategies.

We emphasize an individualized, comprehensive approach that goes beyond medication with the use of advanced treatments like neurofeedback, cognitive testing, and an integrative model of medications and therapy to restore quality of life and achieve lasting mental wellness.

According to the medical associations in Northwest Arkansas, mental health counselors cannot prescribe medication, even though they can suggest it. They can only do therapies. Only psychiatrists can prescribe medication.

Psychiatric medication management is a process of treatment between a patient and a psychiatrist. It involves medication with therapy, with prescribed medication, monitoring it, and adjusting medication to achieve complete and early recovery. 

A level 4 psychiatric facility, in the context of addiction treatment, is a medically managed intensive inpatient program with 24-hour nursing and daily physician care. Brainpower Wellness Institute does not provide this level of care, as it is a multi-location mental health clinic that offers outpatient services and medication management services.
