Background

About Angie Eells

I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Georgia and I obtained my masters degree at Valdosta State University (VSU) in their accredited Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) program. I am currently the owner of Aurora Counseling for Healing and Change, LLC and I've been in private practice for 13 years. In school I learned about both clinical and community practice to develop the requisite skills to practice in many settings such as schools, hospitals, mental health, residential treatment, child welfare, forensic, geriatric, hospice, and many others. While attending VSU I served as President of the Master of Social Work Class 2005-2006 and served as Vice President of the Phi Alpha Social Work Honor Society from 2004-2006. I have been in good standings as a member of the National Association of Social Workers since 2004 and I am a member of the Georgia Society for Clinical Social Work. In 2018 I was appointed a term by Governor Nathan Deal to serve on the Georgia Composite Board for Professional Counselors, Social Workers, and Marriage and Family Therapist. During my term, I also had the privilege to serve on the Complaints Subcommittee and assisted in rewriting the existing social work rules. As a member of the Association of Social Work Boards, I served as the Georgia delegate to represent Georgia's jurisdiction at the 2018 and 2019 ASWB Annual Delegate Assembly. In this role, I was responsible for participating in the election of board members and the nominating committee as well as vote on proposed resolutions and changes in the ASWB by-laws. I am tendered as an expert witness in child development and domestic violence in the Ocmulgee Circuit – Eighth Judicial District. In the past I have served as a television consultant on WMAZ in Macon Georgia in a segment called Your Child. I am also a part time faculty member with Valdosta State University's School of Social Work, as well as an Emergency Department Behavioral Mental Health Specialist at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Outside of my work I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and of course, my dogs.
