🌟 Clinician Spotlight: Kira Colgan, MS, LMFT 🌟

Kira Colgan’s path to mental health work was shaped early by family, language, and service. With both parents working in mental health, her inspiration came close to home. Her mother served as a social worker in Los Angeles public schools, while her father, a clinical psychologist, dedicated his career to supporting Spanish speaking refugee communities. Kira even began learning Spanish alongside her father as a preschooler, including living with a host family in Mexico at just five years old. Those early experiences helped guide her to the work she does today, supporting students at two bilingual schools through Centus.

What Kira loves most about her work is listening to stories. Known in her family as the “family historian,” she has always been someone who wanted to truly know people and remember their experiences. That passion continues with her clients, each one bringing a new story and opportunity for growth. After 11 years at Escuela de Guadalupe, Kira feels deeply connected to the school community and now finds herself attending Quinceañeras for students she once knew as kindergarteners.

Some of her most meaningful moments come when former students reach out after graduating. One especially powerful reminder of why she does this work arrived in the form of a handwritten note from a former student who had been quiet during sessions. Years later, the student shared how much their work together had helped her through a difficult time. Kira has kept that note as a reminder that even when progress is not visible, therapeutic support can be life changing.

Outside of work, Kira enjoys being active and spending time outdoors with her family. She met her husband skiing and now loves watching their kids fall in love with the sport that first brought them together. She also enjoys cooking and time at home with her family.

This year, Kira is excited to expand her work even further. After more than a decade at Escuela de Guadalupe, she is now serving at two schools and looks forward to continuing to build strong relationships at Newlon Elementary while deepening her collaboration with that community.

We are grateful for Kira’s dedication, heart, and lasting impact on the school communities she serves. 💙

Alcohol misuse doesn’t just affect individuals — it affects families, workplaces, and entire communities. Alcohol Awareness Month is an opportunity to reflect on how we, together, can create environments that reduce stress, support healthier choices, and encourage emotional safety. National prevention efforts emphasize increasing public understanding of alcohol misuse and offering resources that help communities respond early.

At Centus, we believe that prevention is strengthened when communities invest in mental wellness. When people feel connected, supported, and equipped with tools to manage life’s challenges, they’re less likely to turn to alcohol as a coping mechanism. Evidence based community strategies — like sharing accurate information, reducing risk factors, and fostering supportive networks — have been shown to reduce harmful alcohol use and promote long term health.

April is Alcohol Awareness Month, a time to recognize how alcohol misuse affects not just physical health but emotional and mental well being. At Centus, we see every day how alcohol misuse often emerges from underlying struggles—stress, anxiety, trauma, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Counseling can play a crucial role in helping people understand their relationship with alcohol, build coping strategies, and develop healthier patterns.

💙 You don’t have to navigate change alone. Centus counselors are here to support emotional wellness, strengthen resilience, and help you pursue a healthier, balanced life.

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.

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month — a time to come together in support of children, families, and communities where every child feels safe, cared for, and valued.

At Centus, we believe prevention starts with connection. When caregivers feel supported, stress is reduced, and families have access to emotional and mental health care, children are better able to thrive. Strong families help build strong, healthy communities.

Here are two simple ways you can take part this month:
• Share resources that help families build connection, resilience, and support.
• Check in with the caregivers in your life — a kind word or listening ear can go a long way.

Every child deserves a safe, stable, and nurturing environment. Centus is honored to walk alongside families through counseling, education, and whole person mental health care — helping break cycles of harm and build brighter, healthier futures together.

🌟 Clinician Spotlight: Kim Godell, MS, LPC 🌟
We’re excited to highlight Kim Godell, whose curiosity, compassion, and dedication shine through in her work every day.

💬 What inspired Kim to pursue this field?
Kim has always been fascinated by people and the experiences that shape how we think and feel. She saw how powerful it is to feel understood and wanted to help others make sense of their patterns and build confidence in themselves.

💛 What she enjoys most about working with clients:
Kim loves seeing clients begin to treat themselves with compassion instead of criticism. Watching someone respond differently in situations that once overwhelmed them is especially meaningful. She’s also deeply committed to clients involved with the Department of Human Services — including grandparents stepping into parenting roles, children in foster care, and parents working hard to rebuild stability.

✨ A meaningful success moment:
Kim finds the biggest impact often shows up in small shifts — like when a client says, “Normally I would have reacted differently, but I didn’t this time.” Those moments represent real, gradual change.

🌿 Outside the office:
Kim enjoys staying active and spending time with her family — skiing, golfing, traveling, being outdoors, and cheering her kids on at their sporting events.

🎯 What she’s excited about this year:
She’s looking forward to helping clients apply therapy skills more easily in everyday life, especially around anxiety, relationships, and emotional regulation.

Help us celebrate Kim and the impactful work she does! 💙

Struggling with low mood or depression? Your sleep might be playing a bigger role than you think.

Emerging research shows a strong connection between untreated sleep apnea and symptoms of depression. When breathing repeatedly stops during sleep, oxygen levels drop — and that lack of oxygen can affect brain chemistry involved in mood regulation.

The encouraging news: CPAP therapy is linked to meaningful improvements in depression and anxiety symptoms or people with obstructive sleep apnea. By keeping the airway open and restoring steady oxygen flow through the night, CPAP helps the brain get the oxygen it needs to function at its best.

Better oxygen. Better sleep. Better mood. If you’ve been feeling persistently down and waking up tired, it might be worth talking with a healthcare professional about sleep apnea.
