Psychiatric Care in East Haven, CT — Medicaid & Husky Welcome

East Haven is a shoreline town with a working-class backbone and a lot of people who don't have the luxury of waiting months for a psychiatric appointment. If you've been struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, or anything else that's been quietly wearing you down — you don't have to wait for a slot at an overfull clinic. Sindhia Shyras, APRN, is a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with nine-plus years of experience, and she's accepting new patients from East Haven now. She sees patients via telehealth anywhere in Connecticut, and in person at 1 Liberty Sq, Ste 301, New Britain, CT 06051. And yes — she accepts Medicaid and Husky Health. Your insurance isn't a barrier here.

Insurance That Actually Works

Finding a psychiatrist who accepts Medicaid or Husky Health isn't always easy — and that's a real problem. Elite Health accepts both, plus Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Anthem, and ConnectiCare. Self-pay is available too. If you've been turned away from other practices because of your insurance, that's not the end of the road. Call 860-515-8689 and we'll confirm your coverage before you book. No runaround, no waiting on hold forever. Just a straight answer.

Conditions Sindhia Treats

Depression that's lasted longer than it should. Anxiety that gets in the way of work, relationships, sleep. PTSD — especially in people who've never named it that, just lived with it. ADHD in adults who were never diagnosed as kids. Bipolar disorder, OCD, panic attacks, insomnia, mood swings that don't seem to follow any pattern. Sindhia works with all of these. The first visit is a full evaluation — about 60 minutes — where she actually listens before drawing any conclusions. Not every provider takes that time. She does.

Telehealth — Your Couch, Your Schedule

Telehealth is available for all Connecticut residents, including East Haven. Your appointment happens by secure video — phone or laptop, wherever you have some quiet. No waiting room. No drive. No figuring out parking near a clinic. And because follow-ups happen the same way, it stays easy to maintain care over time. That consistency matters. A lot of people do well when they don't have to jump through hoops every time they need to check in with their provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — in Connecticut, Medicaid and Husky Health cover psychiatric services provided by advanced practice registered nurses like Sindhia. That includes evaluations, medication management, and follow-up visits. The coverage is real. Give us a call at 860-515-8689 and we'll verify your specific plan before you come in, so there are no surprises.

That's a fair concern, and it's more common than people realize. A lot of people have been through appointments that felt rushed, dismissive, or like they were just being handed a prescription and shown the door. Sindhia's approach is different — the first appointment is an hour, it's a real conversation, and the goal is to understand your full picture before making any recommendations. You get to ask questions. You get to push back. And if something doesn't feel right, you say so. That's how it's supposed to work.
