About Me

With the ever-growing need of behavioral health care, it’s imperative for experts to be available to help individuals and families. Especially for teens.

Turn to Jennifer Keating, MD, of Avera Medical Group Behavioral Health in Sioux Falls, SD, who offers compassion and hope in psychiatric services specifically designed for individuals age 18 and younger.

Expert Care in Behavioral Health and Psychiatry

Teens deal with a lot, and they just need someone to care. Dr. Keating wants to be a source of hope and solutions when it comes to depression, anxiety, eating disorders, ADHD or any other behavioral health issues.

“Some things to look out for are sleep changes, withdrawal, losing interest in favorite things, a low mood, irritability and worrying about things they don’t need to worry about,” said Dr. Keating.

Dr. Keating understands the path to healing is personal, so care needs to be personalized. With the right interventions, which can include medication, there’s opportunity for great improvement. Healing takes time.

“Seeing patients with a renewed sense of hope and pursuing their dreams is a great motivator for me,” she said.

Active Lifestyle

Dr. Keating is married and they have two daughters, who are the “light of their lives.” Their family enjoys spending time together, such as going to parks, exploring the bike trails and attending extended family gatherings.
