Hi! I’m Jen! I work in Genesis’ Billing and Insurance department. My main goal at Genesis is to make sure the Admission process related to Benefit Coordination and finances, is as smooth as possible for the families that we treat. I am passionate about helping, behind the scenes, the people of our community struggling with Mental Health and/or Substance Abuse.

Hi, I’m JT! I graduated from LSU this past Spring with a bachelor's degree in psychology. I am passionate about pursuing a career in mental health, and I feel extremely lucky to be working under some of the best counselors Baton Rouge has to offer. My duties at Genesis are mostly administrative, but I look at my role as simply trying to alleviate some of the work for the clinicians, so that they are able to focus more of their attention on their clients. I hope to offer a friendly face to everyone who enters our front door!
