Husky Health Psychiatrist Serving Waterbury, CT

Waterbury residents on Husky Health know the drill: you search for a psychiatrist, half the results are out of date, and the offices that do come up tell you they're not taking new patients or don't accept Medicaid. That wall is real — and it's one reason mental health care stays out of reach for so many people in this city. Elite Health LLC is different. We're in-network with Husky Health and Medicaid, and we're accepting new patients from Waterbury right now. Sindhia Shyras — a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with nine years of clinical experience — provides telehealth psychiatry across all of Connecticut. So you can get real care from home, at no cost or minimal cost, with no referral required. Having Husky Health shouldn't mean waiting six months or settling for a five-minute appointment. It shouldn't mean that at all.

What Husky Health Pays For at This Practice

Psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and telehealth visits are all covered under Husky Health. Connecticut's mental health parity law backs this up — mental health coverage is required to work the same as coverage for physical conditions. Most Husky A and Husky D members pay $0 or a small copay per visit. If your specific medications require prior authorization, our office manages that process so you don't have to navigate it alone.

The Evaluation and What Comes After

Your first appointment is a thorough psychiatric evaluation. Sindhia takes time to understand your symptom history, your background, what's been tried before, and what your goals are. She works with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, panic disorder, insomnia, and mood disorders. From there she'll build a plan — medication, supportive therapy, or a combination. Follow-up visits keep your care responsive and on track.

In-Person or Telehealth — Your Choice

Telehealth appointments are available to all Connecticut residents — Husky Health covers them statewide. So if you're in Waterbury and prefer to meet from home, that works. If you want to come in person, our New Britain office is about 20 minutes away at 1 Liberty Square, Suite 301. Either way, you're getting the same evaluation and the same care from Sindhia. Sindhia also speaks English, Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu — so if another language feels more natural for these conversations, that's an option.
