Getting to know Sindhia Shyras
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner committed to patient-centered, compassionate care. My passion for psychiatry grew from witnessing the effects of stigma and limited mental health resources. With over 15 years of experience in diverse settings, including correctional and forensic environments, I bring strong expertise in psychopharmacology and a deep belief that a trusting therapeutic alliance is essential to effective treatment.
Transparency, understanding, and aligning with patients goals are central to my approach in providing the highest quality mental health care. I strive to create a collaborative environment where we work together to assess symptoms and explore potential treatment
I strive to ensure patients feel heard, respected, and hopeful while empowering them to take an active role in their healing. I provide culturally sensitive, evidence-based, and individualized treatment plan to enhance quality of life.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I believe effective care begins with listening, truly understanding your story, your strengths, and the challenges you’re facing. Together, we’ll develop a personalized plan that fits your goals and values.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
During our first session, I’ll take time to get to know you — your background, current concerns, medical and mental health history, and what you’d like to accomplish through treatment. This helps me form a comprehensive understanding of your experiences and make an accurate diagnostic assessment.
Together, we’ll discuss possible treatment options, which may include medication management, therapy, or a combination of both. I’ll explain each recommendation clearly, including potential benefits and side effects, so you can make informed decisions about your care.
Follow-up sessions are more conversational and focused on how you’re feeling, how your medications are working, and any changes in mood, sleep, focus, or stress levels. I often incorporate supportive and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to help you process emotions, build coping strategies, and track progress toward your goals.
My goal is for you to leave each session feeling understood, informed, and supported with a clear plan for your continued growth and wellbeing.

More information on payments and coverage
I accept a variety of insurance plans to help make care accessible and affordable. Before our first appointment, my office will verify your coverage and review any copay or deductible information so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
If you’re using insurance, I’ll submit claims directly on your behalf. For those paying out of pocket, I accept credit/debit cards and HSA/FSA cards at the time of service.
If your plan is out-of-network, I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
I understand that financial concerns can be a barrier to treatment, so please don’t hesitate to discuss payment options or sliding-scale availability — we’ll work together to find a solution that supports your care.

Clinician was kind and caring, listening carefully to me rather than talking over me. I highly recommend Sindhia.

I loved it. I’m not the type of person who usually opens up to others, but once I started talking to her, I instantly opened up and felt safe—even though it was a video call. I felt heard without any judgment. I would book with her over and over again! 100/100

Sindhia is so kind, she asks about all aspects of life and remembers what I've told her about my personal life from session to session. She takes all feedback and I've found a lot of peace in my life with her help. Every issue I've had with my pharmacy or prescriptions she has fixed immediately which had eliminated so much stress for me. I am so happy to have found her and would highly recommend.

Very understanding and easy to speak with!
December 10, 2025Jasden M.Verified patientVideo visit
As someone who’s spent nearly their whole life needing help but feeling unable to seek it, I went into this very anxious and scared. But she was absolutely wonderful - I felt truly heard for the first time. I’m excited to begin treatment, for the first time in a while things seem to be finally looking up!

Sindhia is excellent! I am a shy person ands she made me feel comfortable and at ease. She cares a lot and asked lot of detail before my first appointment which saved a lot of time and stress explaining everything. She is very smart and perceptive and understood me right away. She choose a medication that perfectly fit my needs and I feel so much better. I never thought I could be doing this well. She is always available, even in between appointments, for questions. I feel supported and cared about at every appointment.
