About Dr. Schulte
Ansley Schulte is a board certified pediatrician based in New York.
My first exposure to medicine began during college in New York City as a volunteer doula, a professional labor and postpartum support partner. While getting to know the laboring mothers I worked with, I became intimately acquainted with the overwhelming and often disempowering introduction to motherhood that has become standard in our current culture. Experiences with healthcare access and witnessed disparities instilled in me a passion for health equity that would become the foundation of my career.
I returned to my home state of Florida to attend the University of Florida College of Medicine then bounced back to complete my pediatric residency training at NewYork-Presbyterian, Columbia University Medical Center. After graduation, I spent several years working as Pediatric Medical Director for Pennsylvania Residential Program for KidsPeace, an organization dedicated to youth mental health and foster care. Recognizing the need for mental health support outside of hospital and residential settings, I returned to upstate New York and primary care practice where I work today. My areas of special interest include trauma informed care, foster care and adoption medicine, epigenetics and resilience, and LGBT health equity.
As the daughter of a professional storyteller, I learned early in life the power of narrative to educate and transform minds and hearts. I carry this love of each person's unique story with me to this day and use it to connect and better understand my patients and their families.
In my spare time, I enjoy making handcrafted beaded jewelry, collecting stickers, and reading anything I can get my hands on.
