What should a new client know about working with you?

Dr. Similade Adetunji is a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I am passionate about providing quality, caring, and comprehensive mental health services to all ages. I also follow evidence-based guidelines combined with clinical experience. Lily Health and Wellness Center is committed to providing exceptional psychiatric/primary care service in a timely manner. We understand that sometimes schedule adjustment are necessary, therefore we respect request at least a 24 hours’ notice for all cancellations or change in scheduled appointment. If you ever need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, contact our office immediately and be sure to do so 24 hours before your initial appointment. This will allow us enough time to work on the appointment of other waiting patients. For a detailed view of our cancellation/rescheduled appointment, please see our policy below, effective March 1, 2022: • If, for any reason, a patient could not show up to their appointment on the arranged date and was not able to contact our office 24 hours prior to their appointment, he/she will be considered a No-Show and will be charged a $80.00 fee. • If, for any reason, a patient could not show up/reschedule their appointment on the allotted 24-hour notice for the second time, he/she will be charged a $90 fee. • If the said occurrence happens for a third time with the same patient, he/she may be dismissed from Lily Health and Wellness Center. • Any cancellation/rescheduling fees will be charged to the patient, not their insurance company, during his/her next office visit. • As a courtesy, all patients should receive an automated reminder a day or 2 days before their appointment time. Also, if the time permits, Lily Health maybe making reminder calls for upcoming appointments. If you do not receive the said reminder call or any automated message regarding your appointment, the above policy will still be in effect.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

When we begin working together, the first session typically focuses on getting to know you. I will ask questions about your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and goals so I can gain a clear picture of your overall health and well-being. This helps me develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Follow-up sessions often include both medication management (when appropriate) and talk therapy techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness strategies, and supportive counseling. My approach is holistic, meaning I consider not only your mental health but also your physical health, environment, and daily habits. Each session is a collaborative space where you are encouraged to share openly. We will review your progress, adjust your plan if needed, and build practical skills you can use outside of sessions. My goal is to help you feel supported, empowered, and equipped to manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life.

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

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $423 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $210 for 30 minutes
  • Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
  • Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront

More information on payments and coverage

At Lily Health & Wellness Center, we strive to make care as accessible and straightforward as possible. We accept a variety of insurance plans, and coverage will depend on your specific benefits. Before your first appointment, we recommend contacting your insurance provider to confirm eligibility and any copayments or deductibles. For patients who are uninsured or prefer not to use insurance, we also offer self-pay options. Payments can be made securely through our online system at the time of service. We accept major credit cards and can provide itemized receipts for reimbursement if you have out-of-network benefits. If you need assistance, our team can help walk you through your coverage, verify benefits, and discuss payment options. We are committed to transparency and will always review costs with you in advance so there are no surprises.

I really felt comfortable with her. I am very anxious with meeting new ppl and it's hard for me to be on this new journey of truth and acceptance and from the short time with her. I felt at ease.
Verified patientVideo visit
She was friendly and seemed like she was listening but not a good fit. The call lasted about 30 minutes, unhelpful in providing the guidance I was looking for on my journey. She asked if I had life insurance and what type of policy I had. Not sure if that’s part of the normal process but it seemed unnecessary.

I was able to see Dr. Adetunji very quickly and she helped ease my mind about the problems I am having. She has excellent bedside manner and made me feel safe and heard.
Verified patientVideo visit
Initially “Dr. Ade” seemed oddly distant, but that was probably because I submitted my intake form at the last minute. It was clear she was not pleased. However, as the visit progressed, she became warm & caring, and made me want to open up to her. And it’s clear she knows medicine.

Very professional, I've just moved to Maryland and was unsure of what I would do about my medications. I found this doctor and she really listened to me, she understood my concerns.

She is beyond helpful.
