About
Colt St. Amand, PhD, MD holds dual credentials that are rare in any clinical setting. He earned his PhD in child-family clinical psychology in 2013, his MD in 2020, and completed his Family Medicine residency at the Mayo Clinic in 2023. He then pursued a second fellowship in LGBT Healthcare through the New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute, having completed his first at the Michael E DeBakey Veterans Affairs Hospital a decade earlier. He may be the only double fellowship-trained professional working at the intersection of sexual health and gender health.
Dr. St. Amand has supported the health of hundreds of pediatric and adult patients since 2011. He completed ketamine therapy training through the Psychedelic Research and Training Institute (PRATI) in Colorado in 2024, having first encountered ketamine treatments for veterans with PTSD and treatment-resistant depression during his 2014 fellowship work. He has taught the Psychology of Human Sexuality course to undergraduate students for more than a decade. His clinical passions include mental health, gender health, LGBTQ+ care, HIV and STI prevention, substance use, and psychological testing across a broad range of conditions. He grew up watching his psychologist father and gynecologist mother run independent practices in a small Texas town, and that early model of community-rooted medicine shapes how he practices today.
