Groton is submarine country — a working, mission-driven community where people are often dealing with high-stress jobs, irregular schedules, and the particular weight that comes with that kind of life. And yet, finding quality psychiatric care here without a long waitlist or a long drive has always been a challenge. Sindhia Shyras, APRN is a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with nine-plus years of experience who sees Groton patients via secure video telehealth. She's licensed and practicing across Connecticut, she's accepting new patients from Groton right now, and you can connect from your home — or anywhere else in the state. No commute to Norwich or New Haven required.
Whether you're active duty, a defense contractor, a healthcare worker at Lawrence + Memorial, or just someone in southeastern Connecticut who can't easily take a half-day for a psychiatric appointment — telehealth fits. Sindhia's appointments work from your phone, tablet, or computer. Her platform runs in a standard browser — no app to download. You get a secure video link before your visit, click it, and you're connected. A camera, a microphone, and a few minutes of privacy is all you need. She treats depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, panic disorder, insomnia, and mood disorders — all via video.
Groton carries a specific kind of occupational stress — the kind that doesn't always look like traditional mental health symptoms from the outside, but accumulates over time. Sindhia's approach starts with a full psychiatric evaluation — not a screening tool you fill out in five minutes. She asks about your work, your history, your sleep, your relationships. Then she builds a plan that actually fits your situation, whether that's medication, supportive therapy, or both. And she'll tell you straight what she thinks — no ambiguity, no vague reassurances.
