Baton Rouge, La. (July 23, 2024) – Beacon Behavioral Partners, a leading provider of support services for behavioral health practices, announced its official partnership of Hauser Clinic & Associates, an established provider of psychiatric and psychotherapy services for children, adolescents, adults and geriatric patients in the Houston area. This partnership expands Beacon’s network to eight esteemed partners in Texas, with plans for further strategic alliances throughout the state this year.

“As we unite with Beacon Behavioral Partners, I am eagerly anticipating the transformative opportunities ahead to advance psychiatric care across the Houston area,” says Dr. Donald E. Hauser, leader of Hauser Clinic & Associates. “Our collaboration will ensure that more individuals and families receive the compassionate, patient-centered care they deserve. Together, we will build a stronger, more supportive community where everyone has the opportunity to heal, grow, and thrive.”

Dr. Donald E. Hauser, whose heritage boasts a long-standing tradition of excellence in psychiatry, including his grandfather, the first psychiatrist in Texas, has been a cornerstone of psychiatric care in the Houston community for nearly 40 years. Renowned for his dedication to compassionate patient care and clinical excellence, Dr. Hauser joined Hauser Clinic & Associates in 1987, succeeding his father, and expanded the practice to collaborate with a team of psychiatrists, psychotherapists, and nurse practitioners. His leadership positioned the practice as a trusted provider of psychiatry and psychotherapy services across all age groups, developing into a vital resource in the Greater Houston area’s mental health landscape. 

With a legacy of over 25 years, Beacon Behavioral Partners has provided indispensable support to practices across the Southeastern United States. In partnering with clinics, Beacon emphasizes the preservation of each practice’s unique brand and clinical autonomy. Facilitated by a dedicated physician advisory board, partners thrive in a collaborative setting that promotes the exchange of expertise and the development of innovative practices aimed at elevating patient care standards.

“We’re proud to welcome Hauser Clinic & Associates to the Beacon family, led by Dr. Hauser and his prestigious psychiatric lineage,” said Beacon Behavioral Partners CEO Sean Wendell. “This expansion not only strengthens our presence in Houston but also reaffirms our commitment to supporting our team of doctors who ensure the continued delivery of top mental health services to our communities.”

Looking ahead, Beacon will continue establishing further partnerships across Texas in the coming year. This expansion aims to broaden access to mental health services and empower partners with the resources needed to deliver exceptional care statewide. These efforts reinforce Beacon’s commitment to advancing mental health care accessibility and quality in Texas communities.
