Kate Hansen serves as Lead Behavioral Health Technician at Avenues Recovery Center at Fort Collins. She lives in Fort Collins CO, where she moved just over two years ago from sunny Phoenix, Arizona. Kate has set her sights on returning to school to become a Licensed Addiction Counselor — a natural next step in her lifelong commitment to helping others heal.
With more than five and a half years in recovery herself, Kate's passion for this field is deeply personal. Recovery, she says, changed her life, and now she’s dedicated to helping others find the same hope and transformation. She believes that true recovery begins with connection, empathy, and meeting people exactly where they are. Every person’s path is different, and Kate feels privileged to walk alongside each individual as they rediscover their strength and purpose.
Outside of work, Kate cherishes time with her wife, Hailey, their two children, and their beloved dog, Yogi Bear. Together they enjoy exploring new restaurants, cheering on their son at football games, fishing, hiking, and soaking in the beauty of Northern Colorado’s great outdoors.
