Angie Brower
MSW, LCSW | Chief Clinical Officer & Hope & Healing Center Director
For over two decades, Angie has been working with individuals and families in therapeutic capacities. Having grown up with missionary/prison evangelist parents and traveling with them extensively in different parts of the world, she has long been intrigued and inspired by the way family dynamics, culture and life experience, especially trauma, have the power to change the people it touches. This led her to pursue her Bachelors in Psychology and Masters in Social Work.
Since then, she has dedicated her time and experience to clients dealing with various forms of trauma. Much of that work has been on behalf of those who have experienced sexual exploitation or abuse. Angie brings that experience to the role of Rapha’s Chief Clinical Officer and Rapha Hope & Healing Center Director which provides trauma therapy services to the four states area.
