Psychiatrist in Manchester, CT — Accepting New Patients Now

Manchester is one of those Hartford suburbs where most people are quietly managing a lot. Family pressures, work stress, long commutes — and underneath all of that, mental health challenges that don't always get addressed until things have gone on too long. If you've been putting off getting help because you don't know where to start, or you've tried calling around and couldn't get in anywhere, we want you to know there's a place for you here. Sindhia Shyras, APRN is a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over nine years of clinical experience. She's accepting new patients in Manchester right now — by telehealth from anywhere in Connecticut, or in person at our New Britain office on Liberty Square, just a short drive down I-384.

Telehealth That Works Around Your Family

Manchester families are busy. Between work schedules, kids, and everything else life throws at you, finding an hour to drive to an office across town isn't always realistic. Telehealth makes it easier. Sindhia's secure video appointments let you meet with her from home — during a lunch break, after the kids are in bed, whenever you can carve out the time. You get the same quality of care either way, and the convenience factor is real. Parents especially appreciate being able to get mental health support without needing to arrange childcare or take half a day off work.

What We Treat

Depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, panic disorder, insomnia, and mood disorders. Sindhia does full psychiatric evaluations to figure out what's actually going on — not just what you searched online at 2am. From there, she builds a plan around medication management, supportive therapy, or both, depending on what fits. Follow-ups are built in, so your care doesn't drop off after that first appointment.

Insurance We Accept

We accept Aetna, Cigna, Husky Health, Medicaid, United Healthcare, Anthem, and ConnectiCare. Self-pay is also an option. Manchester is a working community, and we want the people here to know they have access to quality psychiatric care — regardless of whether they have a premium insurance plan. Call us at (860) 515-8689 if you have questions about your coverage before you book.

Yes — and that's actually pretty common. Depression and anxiety often show up together. ADHD frequently comes with mood issues. Sindhia does a thorough evaluation at the start so she can see the full picture, not just the loudest symptom. Her treatment plan will address what's actually going on — even when that's more than one thing.

She does — Sindhia speaks English, Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu. Connecticut is a diverse state, and having care available in your native language can make a real difference, especially when you're trying to describe something as personal as your mental health. If you're more comfortable communicating in one of those languages, let us know when you book.
