Every impactful treatment experience is shaped by a team dedicated to supporting healing, growth, and a renewed sense of possibility. At Wings Recovery, our clinicians, mentors, and staff combine clinical expertise with genuine passion in the work they carry out each day.
Our Meet Our Team series spotlights the people who bring our program to life. Through these conversations, you will gain insight into their roles at Wings, what draws them to the mental health and recovery field, and the experiences that inform how they support clients and families.
In this feature, we are proud to introduce Hanna Glasheen, RADT, Head of Admissions, as she offers perspective on her role, her understanding of the recovery journey, and the purpose that continues to drive her work.
Q: Tell us about your role! What do you do at Wings Recovery and what do you love most about your job? What specialties or therapeutic approaches do you bring to your work?
A: At Wings Recovery, I am the head of the admissions department. I oversee all of our admissions coordinators and help review cases for individuals who reach out to us for help. I love my job at Wings for so many reasons – first and foremost, I love helping people. I feel very passionate about getting people the care they need. I don’t just love working for Wings though, I’m proud to be a part of something that changes lives every day. I have been with Wings since day one and I have yet to hear of a facility I would want to work for more. I believe in what we do here and I am proud to be a part of it. I’m proud to walk people through our doors knowing that they will receive the best trauma therapy / mental health treatment from our clinical team. We have some truly fantastic therapists and providers, and I feel so blessed to be a part of this team of people who genuinely care about the people we treat.
Q: What is your “why?” What motivated or inspired you to be in this field?
A: What inspired me to work in this field is that I went through it myself. I’ve been in recovery for many years and have done a lot of trauma therapy. There were points in my life where I felt helpless and hopeless and like things would never change, but through doing the work to heal myself, I learned how important it is to have a helping hand. I was so lucky to have many supporters and people that were there to help pull me out of my darkest places – some of those people were healthcare providers and admissions coordinators. To this day, years and years later, I still think about the people that gave me back that little bit of hope, that made me see I could recover and helped me get to where I am today. I want to be able to reach out that same hand that was given to me, the hand of hope, the hand of unconditional acceptance and belief that, with hard work and commitment, actual miracles can happen.
Q: In your opinion, what makes Wings Recovery unique?
A: Wings Recovery is unique because, unlike everything else in our world today, we provide more for less. We provide more individual sessions, more high-quality providers, more care and compassion with less focus on the obstacles that block people from getting into treatment. Our goal is to help as many humans as humanly possible. Our goal is to provide the highest quality care and support, while meeting people where they are at. Wings is unique because it is made up of humans that genuinely care about other humans and their suffering and recovery from that suffering. I have never known a larger group of individuals who have more compassion and drive to help others than the staff at Wings.
Q: What makes you excited to be a part of the Wings Recovery Team?
A: What makes me excited to be a part of the Wings Recovery team is everything I have already been saying – I get to be a part of a team of individuals that just love helping others. I get excited when I tell people about our program because I truly feel like it is a client focused facility with the goal of treating every individual as just that, a unique individual. I have worked for Wings since day one and seeing the growth and the passion that has gone into making this treatment center what it is, I feel pride in my work and I am excited to go to work every day knowing I get to be a part of at least one person’s healing journey every day.
Q: What is your hope for the future of Wings Recovery?
A: My hope for the future of Wings Recovery is simple – continue on. Continue growing and supporting people. Continue making improvements and process changes based on new and cutting-edge therapeutic sciences. Continue to show integrity in everything we do. Continue helping as many humans as humanly possible.
Q: Is there a personal philosophy or guiding principle that shapes the way you approach care?
A: “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” Mahatma Gandhi
