Husky Health Psychiatrist Serving Torrington, CT

Torrington is the largest city in Litchfield County — and when it comes to psychiatric care that accepts Husky Health, Litchfield County has long been one of the harder parts of Connecticut to serve. Rural coverage gaps, fewer providers, and practices that stopped accepting Medicaid years ago have made it genuinely difficult for Torrington residents with Husky Health to find consistent psychiatric care. That's where telehealth changes things. Elite Health LLC is in-network with Husky Health and accepting new patients from Torrington right now. Sindhia Shyras — board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with nine years of experience — sees Torrington residents via secure video from wherever you are in Connecticut. No drive across the state, no waitlist measured in seasons.

Husky Health Coverage for Psychiatric Services — What Torrington Residents Should Know

Husky Health is Connecticut's Medicaid program — and state law requires it to cover mental health services at the same level as physical health. That's mental health parity, and it means your psychiatric evaluation, your medication management visits, and your telehealth appointments are all covered. Husky A, B, C, and D plans all include mental health benefits. Many members pay $0 or a minimal copay for psychiatric visits. You don't need a referral from your primary care provider. And if your plan requires prior authorization for any medication or service, we handle that submission internally so you're not left navigating insurance paperwork while managing your mental health.

What Sindhia Treats — and How Appointments Work

Sindhia treats depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, panic disorder, insomnia, and mood disorders. She also speaks English, Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu — which can make a meaningful difference in how comfortable and thorough an evaluation is. Your first appointment is a full psychiatric evaluation. Sindhia wants to understand your full history and current situation — not just the top-line symptom. From there, she builds a care plan that might include medication, supportive therapy, or both. Follow-up visits are structured into your plan from day one so there's never a gap in oversight.
