Morgan Collins
Director of Admissions

After serving as the Business Office Manager at Wooded Glen for the past three years, I recently transitioned into the role of Director of Admissions. During my time here, I have had the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with our clients and team, and I am honored to now help individuals take the first step on their recovery journey.

As a mom, I cherish spending quality time with my family, and I know how important the support of loved ones can be. My passion for helping clients in recovery comes from personal experience—I have been the family member on the other side of addiction, hoping and praying for someone I love to find recovery. Because of that, I understand the courage it takes to ask for help and the importance of having people who truly believe in you. My goal is to make every client and their loved ones feel welcomed, supported, and encouraged from the very first conversation. I want every person who walks through our doors to know they are not alone and that they have an entire team cheering them on every step of the way.
