Louisiana Behavioral Health Services

About Louisiana Behavioral Health Services

Louisiana Behavioral Health Services is a family-centered behavioral health provider with a location in Shreveport, Louisiana, operating as part of a statewide network that delivers care in homes and communities. They work with people of all ages who are dealing with mental health conditions, substance use issues, a DSM-5 diagnosis, or an immediate crisis. Teens ages 12 to 17 are a particular focus, including youth at risk of out-of-home placement, those returning home after treatment, and young people with court involvement or high-risk behavior. Their strengths-based approach recognizes that one person’s struggles affect the whole family, so care is built around everyone involved.

Care begins with an assessment and treatment plan, followed by skills development and training, individual, family, and group counseling, and medication management. Families with adolescents can expect Functional Family Therapy, an evidence-based model for helping youth overcome behavior problems at home and in the community, along with parent training on discipline, help identifying a support network, and clearly defined short-term goals. Clinicians meet clients where they live, and crisis intervention is available around the clock for all clients. The team includes licensed clinical social workers, licensed professional counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists.
