Telehealth Psychiatry in Denver
Denver has grown at a remarkable pace, and demand for mental health care has outrun the supply of providers along the Front Range — waitlists are common even in a major metro. Telehealth is one of the most reliable ways to reach a board-certified provider without waiting months.
Sheilah Battle-Stephens, PMHNP-BC, serves Denver residents by secure video as a Colorado-licensed psychiatric provider. New Leaf is a private-pay practice, with rates published up front.
Care that keeps pace with the city
Rapid growth is hard on access: more people, roughly the same number of psychiatric providers, longer waits. Secure video widens the door — Sheilah offers evaluations and medication management for anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders, with unhurried visits and steady follow-up, from wherever you are in the metro.
Her direct-yet-approachable manner, shaped by 36 years in healthcare, is a fit for Denver adults who want a provider who actually listens — including the many who moved here and left a trusted provider behind.
Honest about how this works — and what it costs
New Leaf is telehealth-only; there's no Denver 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 Denver
- Newcomers who left a provider behind in another state
- Busy professionals and parents across the metro
- Seniors managing several medications at once
- Veterans, first responders, and LGBTQ+ adults
