CASA of Kent County has welcomed some new faces to the board of directors, and we’d like to introduce them!
Angie Mason-Maranda
Counseling Center of West Michigan
Assistant Clinical Director/Outpatient Therapist
Since earning dual master’s degrees in social work and public administration with a focus on nonprofit management and leadership in 2014, Angie has worked with children, adolescents, and adults in various mental health settings, including inpatient, partial hospital, and outpatient therapy. Currently, she serves as assistant clinical director of a private practice. Angie’s approach centers on providing clients of all ages, genders, and sexual orientations with a safe, nonjudgmental space to build strengths, explore growth, and develop resilience for future challenges. Witnessing the struggles of children facing complex family issues has been a core part of her experience.
After becoming a CASA volunteer in 2010, Angie was inspired by CASA’s impact in Kent County and across Michigan, which ultimately guided her career toward fostering resilience in individuals and families. Having completed a summer internship with the previous Executive Director of CASA of Kent County, she is passionate about CASA’s mission and values her role on the board alongside other dedicated community leaders.
Outside of work, Angie enjoys time outdoors with her husband, daughter, and family, especially hiking the scenic trails of Sleeping Bear Dunes in Northern Michigan.
