ConnectiCare Psychiatrist in Windsor, CT — In-Network Care, New Patients Welcome

Windsor is one of the oldest towns in Connecticut — and for residents here dealing with depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, or other mental health conditions, getting connected to care that actually accepts your ConnectiCare plan matters. Elite Health LLC is in-network with ConnectiCare, which means you can use your benefits to see Sindhia Shyras, APRN — a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with nine-plus years of experience. She's currently accepting new patients. Telehealth is available to anyone in Connecticut, and our in-person office in New Britain is accessible from Windsor via I-91 South — a straightforward commute if you prefer face-to-face care. Either way, the quality of the appointment doesn't change. And your ConnectiCare plan covers it.

ConnectiCare Coverage at Elite Health LLC

ConnectiCare — part of EmblemHealth and one of Connecticut's founding managed care organizations — covers psychiatric services as part of its standard benefits. Because of the CT Mental Health Parity Act, those benefits can't be treated as lesser than physical health coverage. So your ConnectiCare plan covers psychiatric evaluation and medication management at standard specialist copay rates, typically $20–$50 per visit depending on your plan. Telehealth psychiatry on ConnectiCare CT plans is covered at the same rate as in-person visits. If your plan requires prior authorization for ongoing medication management, Sindhia's team handles the submission — you're not left chasing paperwork.

Conditions Sindhia Treats

Depression. Anxiety. ADHD. PTSD. Bipolar disorder. OCD. Panic disorder. Insomnia. Mood disorders. That's the full scope of what she evaluates and treats — not a narrow specialty. First appointments are real psychiatric evaluations, not fifteen-minute intakes. She goes through your history, what you've tried, what's actually going on day to day, and what your goals are. Medication management and supportive therapy are both available, and she's fluent in English, Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu — which means the conversation can happen in the language where you're most precise. That's not a small thing when you're trying to explain how you feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Elite Health LLC is in-network with ConnectiCare. You can verify by looking up Sindhia Shyras, APRN in the ConnectiCare provider directory at connecticare.com, or by calling the member services number on your card. When you call ConnectiCare, ask specifically about your plan type — HMO versus PLUS networks can differ slightly. We can also verify your specific benefits when you call our office to book.

Prior authorization is sometimes required for ongoing psychiatric medication under ConnectiCare — particularly for certain controlled substances or brand-name medications. The good news is that Sindhia's practice handles the prior auth submission directly with ConnectiCare. You don't have to make the calls or fill out the forms. It can take a few business days to process, so if this applies to your situation, mentioning it during your first appointment helps us get started on the paperwork right away.

Yes — ConnectiCare covers both ADHD evaluation and medication management as standard mental health benefits. Psychiatric evaluation for ADHD is billed as a specialist visit, so your standard specialist copay applies. Stimulant medications may need prior authorization before they go through at the pharmacy, but that's handled by Sindhia's team. Windsor adults looking for ADHD evaluation or better medication management are seen here regularly — it's one of the most common reasons people come in or call.
