Getting to know Jelilat Buhari

Hi there, I'm Jelilat. Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD, addictions, ADHD, or other life-changing challenges the world throws at you? Do you feel like the world is crumbling down on you, and you don't know what else to do? Look no further. I am here to give you listening ears. Let's tackle these problems together. You don't have to journey alone. I hold a Master’s degree in Psychiatric Mental Health Counseling from Walden University, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support you effectively. I possess a strong desire to meet your expectations and bring unique work experiences that have fostered my passion for helping clients struggling with mental illness. I provide medication management and supportive psychotherapy across the lifespan using evidence-based practices.

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.

Verified patient
great provider was very patient
She was very easy going and made the whole appointment very comfortable. She was very informative on my diagnosis as well and best treatment for me.
Verified patient
1. Both times made an appointment the times and days were changed and I was pressured to do their 100 page assessment right that moment on their portal. 2. Did video call for medicine management and her screen remained black where I couldn’t see her the whole time. I offered 25 years of history from my prior doctor but all was refused. Instead she opted to ask me orally the same irrelevant questions I had just answered on the forms for an hour, never discussing current medicine on. 3. After an hour of irrelevant & fruitless, generic questions she informs me that she can’t treat me and that I needed to go in to see in person. Needing medication management & making that clear initially she probably is unauthorized to dispense the medication I was currently on so is why she wasted my time for an hour pretending; honestly the acting job was pathetic that she demonstrated. Would not recommend
Verified patient
She was a great listener and explained information very well. She also had a great attitude and I felt like she showed actual care during our session. I would highly recommend her.
Verified patient
I highly recommend her, very kind and professional. also very thorough with her evaluation and caring. This was my first psych visit ever so I was super nervous but she made everything easy to understand and really listened to my concerns.
Verified patient
I really appreciate the time she took to listen to my concerns and how my life impact had affected me in all aspects of my life. she asked me numerous questions to get down to the root of my problem. She didn't just assume this that and the 3rd. she genuinely listened to me.
She is very thorough and actually listens to you and makes you feel at ease. I love how personable she is; excellent bedside manner.
