[Home](/) 2. [Our Services](/our-services) 3. Telehealth Psychiatry How care is delivered # Telehealth Psychiatry New Leaf is a fully telehealth practice. Every visit — your first evaluation and every follow-up — happens by secure video, from wherever you feel comfortable. There is no physical office and no waiting room, by design. For a lot of people, that's not a compromise; it's the reason care finally fits. Sheilah Battle-Stephens, PMHNP-BC, provides the same thorough psychiatric care by video that she would in any exam room — with the barriers of travel, traffic, and time removed. [Book an evaluation ](/contact)[View rates](/rates) ## Why telehealth suits psychiatric care so well Psychiatric visits are conversations. They don't require a physical exam room, which is exactly why they translate so cleanly to secure video. You get an unhurried appointment from a private space of your own — often the space where you actually feel most yourself. It also widens access. Whether you're in a major metro with month-long provider waitlists or a smaller town with few psychiatric providers nearby, telehealth puts a board-certified provider within reach without a drive across the state. ## Who telehealth helps most - Busy professionals and parents who can't lose half a day to an appointment - Shift workers and shift-heavy fields who need visits that flex around a schedule - Seniors and anyone for whom travel is tiring or difficult - Veterans and first responders who prefer care from their own space - Anyone in a part of Florida or Colorado where local psychiatric providers are scarce ## What you need to get started A private space, a phone, tablet, or computer with a camera, and a reasonable internet connection — that's it. Booking, intake, and every clinical detail run through the practice's secure, HIPAA-compliant portal, never over regular email or text. One requirement is set by licensing law: you need to be physically located in Florida or Colorado at the time of your visit, because that's where Sheilah is licensed to provide care (FL PMHNP #11022244, CO #C-APN.0101167-C-NP). ## The same standard of care, adjusted over time Telehealth doesn't mean lighter care. You still get a full evaluation, a tailored and evidence-based plan, and regular follow-up so the plan can be fine-tuned. If a situation ever calls for in-person or emergency care, Sheilah will say so directly and help you find it. If you're in immediate danger, call or text 988 or 911 — telehealth is not for emergencies. Common questions ## Frequently asked.
