Genesis Behavioral Health Services - Covington

Located near the Abita River, Genesis Behavioral Health treats adults with depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), bipolar disorder, and other mental health conditions. They offer individual therapy, psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and Spravato treatment. They operate Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and offer telehealth appointments for select services.

Therapy and Psychiatric Care

Therapists use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills, motivational interviewing (MI), and trauma-informed techniques to address thought patterns, emotional regulation, and stress. Psychiatric providers assess symptoms, prescribe medications when appropriate, and monitor treatment during follow-up visits. They also address co-occurring mental health concerns and coordinate therapy with medication management to help clients manage symptoms during everyday activities.

Spravato Treatment and Ongoing Care

They administer Spravato (esketamine) nasal spray to eligible adults with treatment-resistant depression. Medical staff supervise each treatment and monitor clients for approximately two hours afterward. Clients must arrange transportation home. The outpatient schedule allows clients to continue work and family responsibilities between appointments. They accept various insurance plans and help verify benefits and obtain prior authorizations, though coverage and out-of-pocket costs vary.
