Greenwich residents with Aetna insurance often find it harder than expected to locate an in-network psychiatrist. Sindhia Shyras, APRN at Elite Health LLC is in-network with Aetna and sees Connecticut patients via telehealth — so geography isn't a barrier. She's a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over nine years of experience in psychiatric evaluation and medication management for depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, panic, and insomnia. Most Greenwich-area Aetna plans cover telehealth at the same in-network rate as an office visit. So you can get board-certified psychiatric care without leaving Fairfield County.
Aetna treats mental health and psychiatric services as equal to any other specialist visit — that's federal law under mental health parity. For in-network psychiatry, most CT Aetna members pay a $20–$60 specialist copay per visit. No referral required in most plans. That applies to your first evaluation and all follow-up medication management appointments. If prior authorization is required for a specific medication or treatment plan, Sindhia's office handles it — you won't spend your afternoon on hold with Aetna.
Finding a local in-network psychiatrist in lower Fairfield County isn't always straightforward — the demand is high and a lot of practices have closed their Aetna panels. Telehealth changes that math. You book a time that works, connect from wherever you are in Connecticut, and get the same thorough evaluation you'd get sitting in an office. Sindhia has been doing this for over nine years. She's not going to rush you through a symptom checklist. She wants to understand what's actually happening — and build a care plan around that.
She works with adults managing depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, panic disorder, and insomnia. Many patients come in with more than one of these going on at once — and Sindhia's used to that. She takes a careful, methodical approach: figure out what's actually driving the symptoms before recommending anything. She also speaks Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu in addition to English, which matters to a lot of patients in this part of Connecticut who haven't found a provider they can really communicate with.
