Telehealth Psychiatry in Aurora
Aurora is Colorado's most diverse city — a community of working families, immigrants, and long-time residents. It sits beside one of the state's major medical campuses, yet for many families the practical barriers to psychiatric care remain real: time, cost, transportation, and the wait for an appointment.
Sheilah Battle-Stephens, PMHNP-BC, serves Aurora by secure video as a Colorado-licensed psychiatric provider. In Colorado, she accepts Medicare and Medicaid, and self-pay is welcome — which keeps care reachable for more households.
Access that fits working families
Proximity to a medical campus isn't the same as access. For a shift worker, a parent juggling two jobs, or a family without an easy weekday window, a psychiatric visit by secure video — no transit, no time off, no waiting room — can be the version of care that actually happens. Because Medicare and Medicaid are accepted in Colorado, cost is less likely to be the thing that stops you.
Sheilah offers evaluations and medication management for anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders, with a listening-first, respectful approach for adults of every background.
Honest about how this works — and insurance

Sheilah is licensed in Colorado (#C-APN.0101167-C-NP) and sees patients by secure video, and you'll need to be physically located in Colorado at appointment time.
