I am originally from Great Falls, MT. I have been in the behavioral health field for over twenty years in various capacities. My passion for helping others started while I was on Active Duty in the Air Force. In addition to that, I have worked at various behavioral health facilities over the years and feel I have gained new knowledge from each one. My goal for We Care is to provide a center that feels like a safe and secure place for clients to attend and to reach out to in times of need. My vision is one that encompasses all members of the facility from admin and staff to clientele and community professionals. I have my MBA and a Masters in Adult Education and Training with an Emphasis in Human Resources. I am also pursuing my doctorate. This educational background has enhanced my knowledge and skill set that I am able to bring as the administrator of We Care.
Leandra – Missoula Program Manager
I was born in New Mexico raised in El Paso, Texas. I loved the culturally diverse region I grew up in and it started my passion for wanting to help others. I was able to start my career working at a residential treatment center for youth, and I learned so much and my desire to help others grew. Looking for more opportunities, I took a leap of faith and moved to Montana. While a scary decision, it brought me to We Care Behavioral Health and for the past two years I have been able to continue to learn so much. More importantly I have been able to continue to help the community which has now expanded into adult care and assistance. I am continuing my education so I can reach my goal of obtaining my Masters degree in Social Work, to continue to grow and share my knowledge regarding mental health.
Erin – Outpatient Therapist
Hello! My name is Erin Rohde. I am one of the therapists here at We Care. I spent most of my life thus far as an educator, with a focus on early elementary classroom instruction and as an elementary reading intervention specialist. I decided to leave education to pursue new passions and areas of study. I received my graduate degree from Walla Walla University, Missoula and love my new career in social work. It has truly been the greatest professional decision of my life. I have experience within case management and am working toward a primary focus on addictions and dual-diagnosis client needs. I believe therapy should be client-centered, providing individuals a safe atmosphere to address their needs and goals. I often integrate aspects of solution-focused and motivational interviewing approaches within the scope of practice. When not working, I enjoy spending time with my three sons, cooking and cheering on the Griz….as well as too many other interests to note! I hope your experience within our setting provides you a safe, caring environment in which to enjoy greater overall well-being.
Brittiny – HR Generalist
I was born and raised in Susanville California; I received my bachelor’s degree in psychology from CSU Chico in 2015.

I have worked with We Care Behavioral Health for 3 years and have really enjoyed getting to meet new people and see them succeed. When not at work I love spending time with my daughter Beau, husband Cameron and our two dogs and cat. I love to hike outdoors as well as curl up with a good movie or book. I am looking forward to continuing my career in helping people to succeed and gain their independence.

Hi, my name is Donna. I am a representative payee for Social Security, and I work for We Care. I have provided this service for almost 8 years, and I really like doing this work. Working with people can be challenging as well as rewarding. I was born in Missoula, Mt where I have raised 2 children. Working for We Care has been rewarding, not only does We Care help their clients, they also take care of their employees.
