Telehealth Psychiatry in Fort Collins
Fort Collins anchors Northern Colorado — a university town with a growing population and, just past the city limits, the wide rural stretches of Larimer County where specialty psychiatric care can be an hour or more away. For much of the region, distance is the quiet barrier to getting seen.
Sheilah Battle-Stephens, PMHNP-BC, serves Fort Collins and Northern Colorado by secure video as a Colorado-licensed psychiatric provider. In Colorado, she accepts Medicare and Medicaid, and self-pay is welcome.
Closing the Northern Colorado distance gap
In and around Fort Collins, the nearest psychiatric provider can be a real drive — and for students, rural residents, and busy families alike, that drive is often what keeps care from happening. Secure video removes it: a board-certified provider without the highway, from wherever you are in Larimer County.
Sheilah offers evaluations and medication management for anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders, with an unhurried, direct-yet-approachable manner shaped by 36 years in healthcare — care that fits both CSU students and long-time Northern Colorado residents.
