When a family is under stress, it rarely shows up in just one person. For Kenner families, this is a structured, supportive space to slow down and start making changes that hold up at home.
Our role is to help the whole family system move toward steadier connection, not to name who's at fault.
A small team by design. You'll never be passed around or treated like a case file.
We'll name hard truths when needed, and do it respectfully. Repair, not punishment.
Louisiana Medicaid, Medicare, and most major commercial plans accepted.
A real person, not a call center, will respond to your inquiry.
Your first sessions with us focus on understanding your family's story and what brought you here. We listen to how each person sees things, without interrogating or blaming anyone. Before we move into deeper work, we establish some simple agreements about respect and pacing so everyone feels safe. This unhurried beginning gives us room to learn what feels stuck and how we might help.
We learn the family story, what's been tried, what feels stuck, and identify any safety or trauma concerns that should shape the pace.
Basic agreements around respect and pacing: no yelling, no name-calling, room to take breaks when emotions run hot.
Communication skills, repair conversations, and boundary setting, informed by CBT, DBT, ACT, and trauma-informed care.
Naming harmful patterns clearly, and the pain underneath them, paired with compassion and a real path forward.
Integrative Recovery Therapies serves families throughout Kenner and nearby communities including Metairie, Harahan, River Ridge, and Waggaman. We offer family therapy both in person at our Metairie office and online through secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth, so you can choose what works best for your household's schedule and needs.
Not always. Many family therapy plans include sessions with the full family and occasional sessions with a smaller group, depending on goals and safety. We will recommend a structure that supports progress while keeping the process ethical and clinically appropriate.
Family therapy works best with participation, but change can still begin even if not everyone is ready. We can talk through options, including how to invite someone without pressure, and whether individual work might be a helpful first step.
No. Family therapy can be very effective for adults and their parents, siblings, partners, and other close relationships. Many of our clients are adult families navigating recovery, mental health concerns, or long-standing relational strain.
