Dr. Brooke Keels is a Partner at Lighthouse Recovery and serves as Chief Clinical Officer, bringing over 15 years of comprehensive experience in mental health treatment, addiction recovery, and clinical program development. Her educational foundation reflects a deep commitment to understanding human behavior and therapeutic intervention, beginning with her Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Louisiana State University in 2008, followed by her Ph.D. in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Louisiana Monroe in 2014. This advanced training in both individual and systemic therapeutic approaches provides her with unique insight into the complexities of addiction and mental health treatment – understanding not just how these conditions affect individuals, but how they ripple through families, relationships, and entire support systems.
“I bring an empathetic and caring approach to all those I work with, understanding that effective treatment requires not just clinical expertise, but genuine compassion and connection. My vision is to ensure that every program we develop and every service we offer reflects our commitment to treating each person with dignity, respect, and individualized care. Addiction and mental health challenges don’t exist in a vacuum – they affect entire families – and our clinical approach has to reflect that reality.”
At Lighthouse, Dr. Keels has been instrumental in designing, implementing, and overseeing the clinical programming that defines our approach – including our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), Supportive Outpatient Program (SOP), and individual and family therapy services. She leads a clinical team of masters-level therapists and ensures that every aspect of treatment reflects Lighthouse’s commitment to addressing the underlying causes of addiction, not just the symptoms. Under her leadership, Lighthouse’s clinical programming has become known for its individualized, progress-based, and shame-free approach – one that meets clients where they are while holding them accountable to where they’re capable of going. Dr. Keels’ combination of advanced clinical training, extensive program development experience, and hands-on leadership has been essential to Lighthouse’s reputation as one of the leading addiction treatment programs in Dallas.
