Biography

Dr. Streusand is a Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist with nearly 40 years of clinical experience. He left full time private practice in 2017 to focus on developing Integrated Systems of Care; placing behavioral health services in non- traditional sites such as pediatric clinics, pediatric specialty clinics, and legal services. He started working in Integrated care in 2004, developing such programs at People's Community Clinic in Austin. He also works part time in Colorado at Pediatric Associates of Durango. He has been keenly interested in teaching medical students and residents throughout his career. Dr. Streusand was the co-founder of the Texas Child Study Center and was Chief of Psychiatry at Dell Children's Medical Center for 12 years, actively interfacing with non-psychiatric disciplines. He intends to broaden access to child & adolescent behavioral health services throughout the Brazos Valley area in his work at TAMUHSC as well as participate in the education of future service providers.
