“The VA hospital forced me to visit with “Dr” Streich in order to determine my VA mental health claim that has been open for the past 10 years. Her evaluation of me was that I did have PTSD as a result of issues occurred during my time in service, but because the VA has taken so long to do anything about it, I’m pretty much ok now. I realized that Kristen is pretty much an insurance adjuster working on behalf of StateFarm to get your claim denied. I’d be willing to bet that she wouldn’t come to the same conclusion for rape victims. “Well… enough time has passed since you were raped so you should be ok now.” After reading her report on me, I tried calling her office so I could genuinely understand the reasons behind her decision. It doesn’t make sense to me. Rather than being an actual Doctor and having a discussion with me, she contacted the VA and pretended to be a victim asking them to call me and tell me not to call her in order to keep from having to explain the reasonings behind her diagnosis. If you’re a woman looking to have your feelings validated, this is probably the place for you. If you’re a veteran (especially men) I recommend you find someone else if possible. This is simply an honest review after I was forced to conduct business with this person. ***It should be noted that the positive reviews she has are mostly coming from people who trained with her and not actual clients.”

“I am struggling with some major life changes. A friend had been to BCBH and suggested I make an appointment with Dr Streich. I am so glad I did. While Dr Streich was sympathetic to my plight, she quickly taught me several coping skills to lessen my stress. Her listening skills and suggestions for coping made me feeling I could better manage the stress of my life changes. I made another appointment and look forward to continuing to strengthen my resolve to deal with change.”

“Wonderful and down to earth! Helped us in so many areas with our ADHD son we did not even think of or did not know we had power in. Thank you!”

“As a mental health doctor, I have conducted student evaluations with Dr. Streich and found her to be highly analytical, scientific, and ethical. Her heart is always aimed at doing the right thing for the child, regardless of the situation. She is an excellent example of a quality psychologist.”
