Husky Health Psychiatrist for Middletown, CT

Middletown has Wesleyan University, the Connecticut Valley Hospital, and a stretch of Main Street that still draws people from across the Middlesex County area. But having a hospital nearby doesn't mean psychiatric appointments are easy to find — especially if you have Husky Health. Plenty of Medicaid enrollees in Middletown have run into the same wall: practices that "don't take Medicaid anymore" or waitlists that stretch out half a year. Elite Health LLC is different. We're in-network with Husky Health, accepting new patients, and Sindhia Shyras — board-certified APRN with nine years of psychiatric experience — can see you via telehealth without you leaving Middletown.

Real Psychiatric Care — Not a Medicaid Waiting Room

Having Husky Health shouldn't mean you get a shorter appointment, a less experienced provider, or a longer wait. It doesn't here. Sindhia conducts the same thorough psychiatric evaluation for every patient — a real conversation about your history, your symptoms, and what's actually going on — regardless of how you're paying. She treats depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, panic disorder, insomnia, and mood disorders. And she speaks English, Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu, which matters for Middletown's multilingual community.

How Husky Health Works for Mental Health in Connecticut

Husky Health — Connecticut's Medicaid program — covers psychiatric services under state mental health parity requirements. That means a psychiatric evaluation, medication management visits, and telehealth appointments are all covered. No second-tier status, no carve-outs. Husky A, B, C, and D plans all provide mental health benefits. Many Middletown members pay $0 or a very small copay for psychiatric visits. And you don't need a referral from your primary care provider — you can contact us directly.

Telehealth Means No Drive, No Parking, No Wait Room

Sindhia sees Middletown patients via secure video — your phone, tablet, or computer works fine. No trip to New Britain required, though that option is open to patients who prefer in-person care at our office at 1 Liberty Sq, Ste 301. Telehealth appointments run on the same schedule, same evaluation depth, and same follow-up structure as in-person visits. For most patients, it's simply more convenient. And Husky Health covers telehealth psychiatry statewide.
