Emily C. Keehn, MSW, LCSW
Clinical Director
As Clinical Director, Emily will oversee the development and execution of all clinical programming across our centers. Her focus:
- Evidence-based, results-driven treatment
- A client-first approach grounded in empathy
- A unified, empowered clinical team delivering world-class care
Her vision is clear: lasting recovery starts with servant leadership and a holistic approach to healing—supporting the whole person, not just the symptoms.
Emily earned her Master of Social Work at USC, specializing in Veteran and family issues, and has spent her career helping individuals break free from addiction and mental health challenges with dignity and compassion. Now, she’s bringing that same dedication to New Dawn. She will be instrumental in helping to enhance our Veterans specific programming as well as all of our world class gender separate and trauma integrated programs. We’re excited for what this means for our clients, our staff, and the recovery community we serve.
