| Welcome to my website! I hope you will find it helpful in your quest for excellent health. |
Dr. Lesley Schroeder's professional practice of psychiatry is founded upon her commitment to women's health, passion for teaching, and respect for personal growth. She is a strong supporter of the mind-body-spirit perspective on health as well as a long-time advocate of integrative, holistic healing practices. Being a psychiatrist as well as a credentialed menopause practitioner, Dr. Schroeder strives to integrate her patients' mental and physical health.
"Knowledge is the cornerstone of making wise, healthy choices about your self-care. Balance, whether it pertains to neurotransmitters in the brain, hormones in the body, or personal commitments in everyday living, is the key to a rewarding and enjoyable life. Today's patients want to have more interactive relationships with their health-care providers. They are ready to take on more responsibility for their own health. I hope to help you become your own best advocate in today's often-challenging medical climate."
Dr. Schroeder (pronounced "Shray-dur") brings a unique perspective to her professional work. She is a Western-trained physician and an American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) board-certified psychiatrist. She is also a North American Menopause Society (NAMS)-credentialed menopause practitioner (NCMP); this training assists her in her specialty, the interface between psychiatry and obstetrics/gynecology.
Dr. Schroeder has had an active private practice of psychiatry in Sacramento, California, since 1982. After 23 years of a successful psychotherapy and medication management practice, she made the transition into her current consultation practice in 2005 to pursue her specialty of Women's Health.
