Psychiatrist in Milford, CT — Shoreline Residents Deserve Good Mental Health Care

Milford sits along Long Island Sound — a community with deep roots, a mix of families and retirees and working adults, and the same mental health challenges you'll find anywhere in Connecticut. The difference is that access to psychiatric care on the shoreline can feel limited. Long waits at clinics, providers who aren't taking new patients, or offices that are a significant drive away. Sindhia Shyras, APRN is a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over nine years of experience treating psychiatric conditions. She's accepting new patients from Milford right now — via secure telehealth or in person at our New Britain office. You don't have to wait months or drive far. You just have to make the call.

The Full Conditions List — Because Mental Health Is Rarely Simple

Sindhia treats depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, panic disorder, insomnia, and mood disorders. These aren't just labels — they're conditions that affect how you sleep, how you relate to people, how you get through the day. And they often overlap. Someone with PTSD might also struggle with panic attacks and sleep problems. Someone with bipolar disorder might also be dealing with anxiety. Sindhia's approach starts with a thorough evaluation that takes the whole picture into account — not just the presenting complaint — and builds a plan that actually fits your situation.

Services: Evaluation, Medication Management, and Supportive Therapy

Your first appointment is a psychiatric evaluation — a real conversation, not a rushed intake. Sindhia reviews your history, your current symptoms, what you've already tried, and what's most affecting your life right now. From there, she may recommend medication management, supportive therapy, or a combination. As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, she's licensed to prescribe psychiatric medications in Connecticut — so you get the full scope of care in one place, without needing to see multiple providers. And she follows up, adjusts as needed, and stays involved in your care over time.

In Connecticut, she's licensed to do everything a psychiatrist does: diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe and manage psychiatric medications, and provide supportive therapy.

We accept Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Anthem, ConnectiCare, Husky Health, and Medicaid. Self-pay is also available. If you're not sure whether your plan is covered, call us at (860) 515-8689 — we'd rather tell you upfront than have you discover a billing surprise later.

Because untreated mental health conditions usually don't resolve on their own — they tend to compound over time. The longer depression, anxiety, or ADHD goes unaddressed, the more it affects every other area of your life. Getting an evaluation doesn't mean committing to anything. It means getting a clear picture of what's going on so you can make an informed decision. And once you've established care, you're not starting from scratch if things get harder down the road.
