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. New Leaf is a private-pay practice, with rates published up front.
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 rates are flat and published up front — with no prior authorizations and no coverage denials to wait on — the cost is at least something you can plan around.
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 what it costs
New Leaf is telehealth-only; there's no Aurora office. 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. New Leaf is a private-pay practice — we don't bill insurance. Rates are published on the Rates & payment page, and payment is due at the time of the visit.
Who she sees in Aurora
- Working families and shift workers
- Adults who'd rather not wait on insurance approvals
- Parents who can't take a weekday off for an appointment
- Veterans, first responders, and LGBTQ+ adults
Frequently asked.
How does payment work?+
New Leaf is a private-pay practice — you pay directly, and you'll know the cost before you book: $325 for the initial evaluation, $150 per follow-up, and $75/month for refills. Payment is due at the time of the visit, and full details are on the Rates & payment page.
There's a big medical campus nearby — why telehealth?+
Being near a hospital isn't the same as being able to get an appointment that fits your life. Telehealth removes transit and time-off barriers and often opens up sooner availability.
Is there an Aurora office to visit?+
No — New Leaf is telehealth-only. Sheilah is licensed in Colorado and sees Aurora patients by secure video; there's no physical office. You'll need to be in Colorado during your appointment.
What if English isn't my first language?+
Sheilah provides care in English. If you'd be more comfortable with interpretation support, mention it when booking and she'll talk through options with you.
