Psychiatrist in West Hartford, CT — Thoughtful Psychiatric Care When You're Ready

West Hartford is a busy, professional community — and a lot of people here are very good at looking like they have it together, even when they don't. Managing anxiety between meetings, getting through the week on too little sleep, keeping up appearances while quietly struggling with depression or burnout. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone — and getting help isn't a weakness. It's just the right call. Sindhia Shyras, APRN is a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over nine years of clinical experience. She sees West Hartford patients via private, secure telehealth — from your home or office, on your schedule. No waiting room, no drive across town. Just real care from someone who actually knows what she's doing.

Telehealth Psychiatry Built for Busy Professionals

Telehealth isn't a second-tier option — it's often a better fit for working adults who can't carve out two hours for an in-person appointment. Sindhia conducts full psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy sessions via secure video. You can schedule around your work calendar, see her from your home or a private space at the office, and get the same quality of care you'd receive in person. For West Hartford residents who value efficiency without cutting corners, this is how modern psychiatric care works.

Conditions Sindhia Treats

Depression. Anxiety. PTSD. ADHD. Bipolar disorder. OCD. Panic disorder. Insomnia. Mood disorders. These aren't rare — they're conditions that show up across every profession, every income level, every zip code. Sindhia has nine years of experience working with people who are high-functioning on the outside and struggling on the inside. She doesn't need you to have hit rock bottom before she takes you seriously. If something's been off, that's enough reason to reach out.

Insurance Accepted — and Privacy You Can Count On

We accept Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Anthem, ConnectiCare, Husky Health, Medicaid, and we offer self-pay rates for those who prefer to keep their care private. That's a legitimate choice — and we respect it. Your records are yours, and Sindhia's practice is built around confidentiality. If you have questions about your coverage before you book, just call us at (860) 515-8689 and we'll sort it out.

Frequently Asked Questions

For most people, yes. Psychiatric care — evaluation, medication management, supportive conversation — translates well to video. You still get a full, unrushed appointment with Sindhia. The research backs this up, and so does the experience of patients who've switched from in-person to telehealth and haven't looked back. If you're ever not sure, you can always come in person at our New Britain office. But most West Hartford patients find telehealth works just fine.

Book a new patient evaluation — either online or by calling us. That first appointment is a full intake conversation. Sindhia will ask about what's been going on, your mental and physical health history, your sleep, your stress, your goals. It's not intimidating. By the end, you'll have a clear sense of what she thinks is going on and what she recommends next.

She can do both. As a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Sindhia is fully licensed to prescribe and manage psychiatric medications in Connecticut. She also incorporates supportive therapy into her sessions — so it's not just a prescription and out the door. You get the full scope of psychiatric care in one place.
