Telehealth Psychiatry in Colorado Springs
Few cities carry a military footprint like Colorado Springs — Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base, and the Air Force Academy make service members, veterans, and their families a defining part of the community. Alongside them are the first responders and working families of the Pikes Peak region, all navigating the same stretched provider network.
Sheilah Battle-Stephens, PMHNP-BC, serves the Colorado Springs area by secure video as a Colorado-licensed psychiatric provider, with a particular welcome to veterans and first responders. New Leaf is a private-pay practice, with rates published up front.
Care that understands service
For those who've served — and the families who serve alongside them — care from your own private space, with a provider who listens rather than rushes, can make all the difference. Sheilah offers psychiatric evaluations and medication management for anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and trauma-related concerns, with an unhurried, respectful approach built over 36 years in healthcare.
Telehealth also reaches the outlying stretches of El Paso County and the Pikes Peak region, where the nearest psychiatric provider can be a long drive.
Honest about how this works — and what it costs
New Leaf is telehealth-only; there's no Colorado Springs 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. (If you have TRICARE or VA benefits, ask how private-pay psychiatric care can fit alongside them.)
Who she sees in the Pikes Peak region
- Veterans, service members, and military families
- First responders and healthcare workers
- Seniors managing several medications at once
- Residents in the outlying reaches of El Paso County
