After graduating from Penn State College of Medicine, she completed her psychiatry residency at Yale University in New Haven, CT.

Dr. Schmidt was recognized by the Yale Psychiatry’s Resident Association for her commitment to LGBTQ veterans with their Resident Diversity Award.

Dr. Schmidt is primarily invested in integrating therapy and medication management. She brings special expertise in perinatal mental health and quality care for members of the LGBTQ population. Of note, she recently worked at Emory’s Women’s Mental Health Clinic, where she was able to combine her interests in both perinatal and LGBTQ mental health by serving individuals often excluded from traditional Women’s Mental Health Clinics. Dr. Schmidt is also passionate about teaching and was awarded a Medical Student Teaching Award while at Emory University.

Dr. Schmidt works in the Adult Psychiatry Division and provides patient care services at the UF Health at Springhill clinic where she serves as an important academic teacher and mentor for medical students, interns, training residents and fellows.
