I highly recommend this place. It’s very clean and the staff are extremely nice. My daughter and I see Jennifer Keuhl. She has helped me so much. Jennifer is a happy person and makes you feel very comfortable. Jennifer is professional and highly skilled at her job. I highly recommend Jennifer for your psychiatrist. Also my nurse Meghan is awesome. Meghan is professional, caring and such a pleasure. Meghan takes good care of me. I have always had a good experience at Genesis.

We’ve had a wonderful experience with this behavioral health practice. Jennifer has been an incredible support for my daughter — patient, understanding, and truly skilled at what she does. The environment is always calm, clean, and welcoming, which makes such a difference. Jennifer is also extremely accessible and responsive, which gives us a lot of peace of mind. We’re so grateful for the care and attention we’ve received here. Highly recommend!

I was weary due to the ratings on google but our whole experience was great! We saw Jennifer Keuhl and I have only positive things to say. She listened and understood my concerns. If you are looking for a psychiatrist for your child or yourself I’d recommend seeing her.

Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program

Our adolescent IOP provides professional, evidence-based care for teens and their families who are navigating mental health challenges in New Orleans, Metairie, and surrounding areas. We address concerns such as:

  • Depression and anxiety
  • Substance abuse disorders
  • Self-esteem and identity struggles
  • Peer relationship challenges
  • Grief and loss
  • Family conflict

Treatment includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Mindfulness-Based Therapy. Family participation is essential, with weekly parenting meetings to help caregivers build boundaries, validate emotions, and strengthen communication. This program is designed for teens who need more support than weekly therapy or who are transitioning from a higher level of care. We work alongside existing providers to maintain continuity, offering both in-person and virtual sessions to meet your family’s needs.

Services are available in Metairie, Baton Rouge, and virtually for the surrounding areas.

Adult Intensive Outpatient Program

Our adult IOP is designed for individuals ages 18+ who are dealing with mood disorders, anxiety, family conflict, substance misuse, or major life transitions. This intensive outpatient treatment in Metairie offers a blend of structure and flexibility so you can receive high-level care while continuing with work, school, and personal commitments. Treatment focuses on:

  • Developing autonomy and independence
  • Managing depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders
  • Building healthy coping strategies
  • Navigating family dynamics and life changes

Therapies include CBT, DBT, and MI, along with a holistic approach to mind, body, and spirit. Weekly family therapy sessions are available to support relationship healing and communication. Whether you are stepping down from hospitalization or seeking a higher level of care than weekly therapy, our adult program offers a supportive environment for growth.
