Husky Health Psychiatrist Serving Meriden, CT

Meriden sits about halfway between Hartford and New Haven — and like a lot of mid-size Connecticut cities, its residents on Husky Health often have a harder time finding a psychiatrist than the directories suggest. Elite Health LLC is in-network with Husky Health and Medicaid and taking new patients. Sindhia Shyras, a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with nine years of experience, provides psychiatric care via telehealth statewide and in person at our New Britain office. You don't need a referral. There's no long waitlist game to play — just call or book online.

Husky Health Coverage for Psychiatric Care

Husky Health is Connecticut's Medicaid program, and it covers psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and telehealth visits for mental health. So if you're on Husky A, Husky D, or another Husky plan, those services are covered. Most members pay $0 or a very small copay per visit — and Connecticut's mental health parity law means your mental health coverage works the same as any other medical coverage. No referral required to start. And if prior authorization comes up for medication management, we handle that paperwork on your behalf.

What Sindhia Treats and How She Works

Sindhia works with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, panic disorder, insomnia, and mood disorders. Your first visit is a full psychiatric evaluation — not a quick screen, but a real conversation about your history, your symptoms, and your goals. From there she builds a concrete care plan. Sometimes that's medication. Sometimes it's supportive therapy. Often it's both. Follow-up appointments keep things on track. If something isn't working as expected, she adjusts. That's the whole point of continuity of care.
