Tina Hansen, LPN

Tina Hansen is a Licensed Practical Nurse with 14 years of experience in the healthcare field. Throughout her career, she has worked across multiple care settings, including nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and home health, where she developed a strong foundation in geriatric care and wound management. Her early clinical experience helped shape her passion for providing compassionate, hands-on patient care and supporting individuals with complex medical needs.
For the past four years, Tina has been serving at North Star Behavioral Health in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, where she works in the Drug Treatment Center. In this role, she specializes in supporting clients with opioid and stimulant use disorders. She helps guide individuals through recovery by assisting with appropriate medication management to reduce cravings, lower the risk of relapse, and improve overall stability during treatment. She also works to ensure patients receive attention for medical concerns that were often neglected during periods of substance use.
Tina’s work in addiction treatment is both challenging and deeply meaningful. She supports patients facing fentanyl and stimulant dependency while helping them address both physical and mental health needs that may have been overlooked due to self-medication. Her commitment to recovery-focused care, combined with her extensive nursing background, allows her to make a lasting impact on the lives of the individuals she serves and the broader behavioral health community.
