Clinician Spotlight: Georgia Angelo, MSW, LCSW
Meet Georgia Angelo, our Clinical Director of School Based Services.
I grew up in a family of political activists, with parents deeply engaged in local government and community issues. That upbringing shaped how I see my place in the world and initially led me to earn a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from the University of Colorado. While I planned to pursue policy and advocacy, I quickly realized that the work felt most meaningful when I was connecting directly with people and building relationships. That realization led me to earn my MSW from the University of Denver.
My professional path has included public health, work with transition aged youth and foster care, and eventually direct clinical work with children and families. Nearly nine years ago, I joined Centus, partnering with Lutheran Family Services to provide in home therapy to newly arrived refugee families while completing advanced training in play therapy.
One moment firmly rooted me in this work. During a session with a four year old boy who had recently arrived in the U.S. and did not speak English, he gently held my face, rested his forehead against mine, and whispered my name. That simple moment reflected the power of being seen and understood beyond words and confirmed that play therapy is where my heart belongs.
Today, I serve as an in school therapist at Rocky Mountain Prep Creekside, support immigrant focused clinical work, and provide supervision to resident clinicians. I am continually inspired by the passion, depth, and cultural humility emerging clinicians bring to this field.
