A Psychiatrist for Wallingford, CT — Accepting New Patients

Psychiatrist Serving Wallingford, CT

Wallingford sits squarely in the middle of Connecticut — midway between Hartford and New Haven, and right at that intersection of suburb and small city where plenty of families are quietly dealing with something they haven't told their doctor yet. Depression. Anxiety that won't quiet down. A kid who can't focus no matter what you try. A parent who's been "fine" for years but isn't. Sindhia Shyras, APRN, sees patients from Wallingford via telehealth — anywhere in the state — and in person at 1 Liberty Sq, Ste 301, New Britain, CT 06051. She's board-certified, she's been doing this for nine-plus years, and she's accepting new patients right now.

Conditions We Work With

Depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, panic disorder, insomnia, mood disorders — these are the conditions Sindhia evaluates and treats every day. Some people come in knowing what they have. Others just know something's off. Either way, the first appointment is about getting a clear picture before making any decisions about treatment. No shortcuts, no assumptions — just a real conversation about what's been going on.

Wallingford Families — Kids, Teens, Adults

Mental health affects the whole household, not just the person who's struggling. A parent with untreated depression affects the kids. A teenager with ADHD affects the family's mornings, evenings, and weekends. When one person gets real care, it tends to have effects that ripple outward. Sindhia sees adults of all ages and understands the particular weight that comes with being responsible for a family while also trying to hold yourself together. That context matters in how she approaches care.

Insurance — Most Plans Accepted

Elite Health accepts Aetna, Cigna, Husky Health, Medicaid, United Healthcare, Anthem, and ConnectiCare. Self-pay is welcome too. Connecticut's psychiatric provider shortage means a lot of people end up waiting — but insurance coverage doesn't have to be another obstacle. If you're not sure your plan is in-network, just call 860-515-8689 and ask. It's quick and there's no obligation.

Frequently Asked Questions

In most cases, yes. Mental health parity laws require that insurance plans cover psychiatric services at the same level as medical services. Medication management visits with a psychiatric provider generally fall under that coverage. That said, it depends on your specific plan, and copays vary. The fastest way to get a clear answer is to call us at 860-515-8689 — we can check your benefits before you book.

It depends on what's going on and what treatment looks like. Early on — especially if you're starting a new medication — you'll probably check in every few weeks so Sindhia can track how things are going and make adjustments. Once you're stable, appointments tend to spread out. Some patients come monthly, some less often. The goal is always the right level of support for where you are right now, not a one-size-fits-all schedule.

Absolutely. Telehealth covers everything in-person does for most psychiatric visits — evaluation, follow-ups, medication management. You just need a quiet spot and a phone or laptop. The booking process is the same either way: call 860-515-8689 or use the button below, and you'll get a secure video link for your appointment.
