Psychiatric Depression Care Right Here in New Britain, CT

This is our home. Elite Health LLC's office is right here in New Britain — 1 Liberty Sq, Suite 301 — and that's not a coincidence. New Britain is a working city. People here put in the hours, look out for their families, and don't always make time for themselves. Depression can sneak up in exactly that kind of life — the kind where you're always doing for everyone else and running on fumes by the end of the week. Sindhia Shyras, APRN, has spent nine years doing psychiatric work specifically for adults who are dealing with this. She offers in-person appointments right here in New Britain, and telehealth visits if coming in isn't always doable. Either way, you get the same thorough evaluation and the same genuine attention.

Why New Britain Patients Come to Us

Being local matters. Sindhia isn't a remote provider who's never set foot in New Britain — this community is where we're based, and that shapes how we think about care. She's board-certified and brings clinical depth to every appointment, but she also listens in a way that feels different from a rushed 15-minute visit. New Britain has a diverse, close-knit population — Polish families who've been here for generations, Puerto Rican and Latino communities, newer arrivals — and depression doesn't look the same across all of those backgrounds. We accept Aetna, Cigna, Husky Health, Medicaid, United Healthcare, Anthem, ConnectiCare, and self-pay, because access shouldn't be a barrier for anyone in this city.

How Depression Treatment Works Here

Your first visit is a real psychiatric evaluation — not a rushed intake. Sindhia takes time to understand your full history: how long things have been off, what your sleep looks like, what's going on at home or at work, what you've tried before. Then she builds a plan. That might mean medication, supportive therapy, or a mix. What it won't be is generic. Follow-up visits are part of the plan from day one, so there's always a next step and nothing just falls off.

In-Person and Telehealth — Your Choice

New Britain patients can come in to see Sindhia at 1 Liberty Sq, Ste 301 — centrally located and easy to get to from across Central Connecticut. But if work schedules or transportation make that hard on a given week, the telehealth option is there. It's secure, it covers the full state, and the quality of care doesn't change.

Frequently Asked Questions

Plan on about an hour. Sindhia will go through your symptoms, your personal and family mental health history, any medications you're currently taking, and how depression is showing up day to day in your life. It's a real conversation — she wants the full picture before recommending anything. By the time you leave, you'll have a clear sense of what's going on and what the plan looks like going forward.

Most people start noticing something in two to four weeks, but the full effect can take six to eight weeks to really land. That's frustrating, but it's how these medications work. Sindhia schedules follow-ups specifically to track how you're responding and make adjustments if needed. And one thing she'll tell you upfront: don't stop taking the medication on your own — always loop her in first if you're thinking about changing anything.

We accept Aetna, Cigna, Husky Health, Medicaid, United Healthcare, Anthem, and ConnectiCare. Self-pay is also available. If you want to confirm your specific plan before your first appointment, call us at 860-515-8689 — our team can check your benefits ahead of time so there are no surprises.
