Telehealth Psychiatry in Orlando
Central Florida has grown faster than its mental-health infrastructure, and Orlando's economy runs on hospitality, healthcare, and service work — jobs built on nights, weekends, and rotating shifts. Traditional weekday-only appointments simply don't fit a lot of Orlando lives.
Sheilah Battle-Stephens, PMHNP-BC, provides telehealth psychiatric care to Orlando-area adults as a Florida-licensed provider — care designed to flex around real schedules instead of fighting them.
Built for how Orlando actually works
When your workweek doesn't look like anyone's nine-to-five, a psychiatric visit you can take by secure video — without a drive across a sprawling metro — is the difference between getting care and giving up on it. Sheilah offers unhurried evaluations and steady medication management for anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders, with follow-up that fits the way your calendar actually moves.
Rapid regional growth has stretched provider availability thin across Central Florida; telehealth widens the door, connecting Orlando residents to a board-certified provider without a months-long local waitlist.
Honest about how this works
New Leaf is telehealth-only — there's no Orlando office to visit. Sheilah is licensed in Florida (PMHNP #11022244) and sees patients by secure video; you'll need to be physically located in Florida at appointment time. In Florida, care is self-pay; Medicare and Medicaid are not accepted here.
Who she sees in Orlando
- Shift workers and service-industry professionals
- Parents and busy adults who can't lose a day to an appointment
- Seniors, veterans, first responders, and LGBTQ+ adults
- People new to the area still without a local provider
