Biography

Jenifer Bordelon, LAC, LMSW is a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist at Louisiana Mental Health Perinatal Partners in the Lafayette and surrounding areas. She obtained her undergraduate degree in Sociology from ULL in 2008 and Master’s degree in Social Work from LSU in 2015. Jenifer is licensed as an Addictions Counselor as well as a Licensed Master of Social Work. She received specialized education and training in Addictions, Childhood Trauma, and treatment of Family and Youth. As a Lafayette native, she enjoys making time for local festivals and live music or finding new hiking trails. She has worked to advocate for social wellbeing in the community since 2008. Jenifer’s clinical practice has involved treating, both, chronic mental illness as well as substance use disorders. She holds a keen interest in each of these practice areas, especially where they tend to intersect, and have been able to practice in a myriad of settings, including intensive outpatient clinics, local shelters for children and young mothers, and the 15th JDC Drug Court. Jenifer feels fortunate to be able to serve a community so close to her heart and look forward to continuing her efforts to ensure Acadiana area residents’ mental health needs are acknowledged and treated through collaboration and early intervention.
