# Telehealth Psychiatry in St. Petersburg 

St. Petersburg sits out on the Pinellas peninsula, where the arts scene, a growing creative-class workforce, and a substantial retiree population all share one geographic quirk: reaching providers on the mainland often means a bridge and a stretch of traffic. Care that arrives by secure video skips the crossing entirely.

Sheilah Battle-Stephens, PMHNP-BC, serves St. Pete and Pinellas County by video as a Florida-licensed psychiatric provider — no drive across the bay.

## Peninsula-friendly psychiatric care

When geography puts water between you and a provider, telehealth is the practical answer: a board-certified provider without the bridge, the parking, or the lost afternoon. Sheilah offers evaluations and medication management for adults across anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders — a good fit for both the area's creative professionals and its many seniors.

Her listening-first, unhurried approach suits people who've felt like a number elsewhere — you get a real conversation, not a rushed refill.

## Honest about how this works

New Leaf is telehealth-only; there's no St. Petersburg office. Sheilah is licensed in Florida (PMHNP #11022244) and sees patients by secure video, and you'll need to be physically located in Florida at appointment time. New Leaf is a private-pay practice — we don't bill insurance, so the cost of every visit is clear before you book.

## Who she sees in Pinellas County

-   Artists, freelancers, and creative-class professionals 
-   Seniors and retirees across the peninsula 
-   Adults tired of crossing the bay for appointments 
-   Veterans, first responders, and LGBTQ+ adults
