View Careers at We Care Behavioral Health

Lexi – Administrator

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 found my passion working with people with disabilities when I worked for AMJAMB in Paradise CA from 2015- 2019. I relocated to Missoula MT in 2019 to be closer to my family. 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.

Donna – Representative Payee

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. When I am not at work, I spend my summer days with my husband James at the lake boating and camping and in the fall. I also enjoy going to the Montana Griz football games. I look forward to working with We Care for many years.

Tasha - Butte Office Manager

Working at We Care Behavioral Health has allowed me to follow a passion that has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I watched my mom dedicate her life to working with disabled adults, showing me firsthand the importance of compassion, patience, and meeting people where they are in life. Seeing the impact she made on individuals and families inspired me to pursue a path where I could also make a difference, offer support during difficult times, and help others feel valued, understood, and cared for.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Business Management, which has strengthened my leadership, communication, and organizational skills and helped shape the way I approach both my professional and personal life. I believe in creating positive relationships built on trust, empathy, and understanding, and I strive to bring those values into every interaction. Helping others navigate challenges and celebrating their progress is one of the most rewarding parts of the work I do.

Outside of work, I’m a proud parent in a busy family of five who love spending time outdoors and making memories together. Whether we’re exploring the mountains, enjoying nature, or caring for our many animals, including dogs, lizards, a hedgehog, chickens, and turkeys, our home is always full of energy and love. Family, compassion, and connection are the center of everything I do, and I carry those same values into my work every day. 

Vanita - Great Falls Office Manager

My name is Vanita, and I live in Great Falls. I was born in Helena, but I was raised in Great Falls, which I proudly call home. I am the proud mother of six children and grandmother to seven wonderful grandchildren.

I have dedicated my career to helping others. I began working in the medical field at the age of 18 and later transitioned into the behavioral health field. Caring for and supporting people has always been an important part of my life, both personally and professionally.

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and caring for my goats. Family, compassion, and helping others are the values that have shaped my life.

Hannah – Hamilton Office Manager

I was raised in Madison Maryland, a small town of 200 people
on the Chesapeake bay. I have lived in four states across several time zones in the USA. I moved to Montana several years ago to be closer to my family in Hamilton. 

In my years living throughout the United States, I survived
poverty and homelessness while navigating single motherhood. Through learning to help myself, I experienced the importance of a supportive social eco system and finding people who genuinely care for one another. My career in helping others began nearly a decade ago when I started my nursing degree while working
fulltime as a certified nurse assistant in various in-patient psychiatric, rehabilitative, and long-term care facilities. 

Raising my child alone through years of poverty taught me
deep resilience and resourcefulness. Those life experiences, and my professional development in the nursing field, have carried me into a meaningful career where I can now show up for others in the ways I once needed a community to show up for me. 

It is a blessing to serve my community to connect individuals at risk with the resources that they need to succeed in their
goals. I look forward to advancing my education and my career with We Care to continue serving my community to the best of my abilities.
