About Sophia
Sophia Schulman sees children from age 7, adolescents, and adults at the Palm Beach Gardens office. She completed her undergraduate and graduate degrees at Chamberlain University and spent her early career as an emergency room nurse. There she saw, again and again, mental health problems arriving as physical symptoms: chest pain that was panic, exhaustion that was depression. That pattern convinced her to specialize in psychiatry.
Schulman practices trauma-informed care with a strong interest in early intervention, catching anxiety, mood, and attention problems before they harden into something more entrenched. She provides medication management and pairs it with lifestyle work on sleep, nutrition, movement, and stress, because those factors determine how well any medication performs.
Her visits are built around nonjudgmental education. She explains what a diagnosis means, what a medication does, and what the patient can do between visits, so that patients and parents can run their own recovery rather than depend on the clinic for every decision. She is accepting new patients. Palm Beach Gardens is also the practice's Deep TMS and Spravato site, and she can refer adults whose depression has not responded to medication for evaluation. Families from Jupiter, North Palm Beach, and Juno Beach are a short drive away.
