Husky Health Psychiatrist Serving East Hartford, CT

East Hartford is right across the river from the capital — but when it comes to finding a psychiatrist who accepts Husky Health, proximity to Hartford doesn't automatically mean access. A lot of practices in the area don't take Medicaid at all. Elite Health LLC does. We're in-network with Husky Health and Medicaid, and we're actively accepting new patients from East Hartford and the rest of Connecticut. Sindhia Shyras, a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with nine years of experience, provides telehealth psychiatry statewide and sees patients in person at our New Britain office. You don't need a referral to book — just call or use the link below.

Why Husky Health Members Keep Running Into Barriers

The real issue isn't coverage — Husky Health covers psychiatric care. It's that the number of providers willing to accept Medicaid is small, and the ones who do often have long waitlists. So people with real mental health needs end up in a waiting game that shouldn't exist. Our practice was built to close that gap. If you have Husky Health and you need a psychiatric evaluation or medication management, you're covered here — and you don't have to wait months to get started.

What's Covered Under Husky Health

Husky Health covers psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and telehealth psychiatry. Most Husky A and Husky D members pay $0 or a very small copay per visit. Connecticut's mental health parity law means your mental health benefits work the same as your coverage for physical health. And if a specific medication requires prior authorization, our office takes care of that process — you won't be left navigating paperwork on your own.

Conditions Sindhia Treats

Sindhia works with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, panic disorder, insomnia, and mood disorders. She also speaks English, Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu — because East Hartford has a genuinely diverse community, and it matters to be understood accurately when you're talking about your mental health. Your first visit is a full evaluation, not a quick intake. From there, she builds a care plan — medication, supportive therapy, or both — and follows up to make sure it's actually working.
