Husky Health Psychiatrist in New Britain, CT

Our office is right here in New Britain — 1 Liberty Square, Suite 301. So if you're on Husky Health and you've been looking for a local psychiatrist, you don't have to travel far. Sindhia Shyras is a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with nine years of experience treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and more. She's in-network with Husky Health and Medicaid — which, in a city like New Britain where a lot of residents rely on Husky coverage, matters a lot. In-person and telehealth visits are both available. New patients are welcome. And no, you don't need a referral to get started.

What Husky Health Covers at Our Practice

Husky Health — Connecticut's Medicaid program — covers psychiatric evaluations, ongoing medication management, and telehealth psychiatry visits. Most Husky A and Husky D members pay $0 or a very small copay. Connecticut's mental health parity law applies, so your coverage for psychiatric care works the same way as coverage for any other medical condition. If your plan needs prior authorization for medication management, we handle that process on our end — you don't have to figure it out yourself.

How the First Appointment Goes

Your first visit with Sindhia is a full psychiatric evaluation. That means she's actually listening — asking about your history, your symptoms, how long things have been this way, what's already been tried. She sees patients dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, panic, insomnia, and other mood disorders. By the end of the visit, you'll have a concrete plan. Medication if that's the right fit. Supportive therapy. Or both. Follow-up appointments keep your care moving forward rather than stalling out.

Languages Spoken

Sindhia speaks English, Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu. New Britain has a diverse population — if you're more comfortable discussing sensitive health topics in one of those languages, that's not a problem here.
