Heather Lambert

In June 2017, Heather Lambert closed the door for the last time to her office as a public-school employee. That final click ended a 17-year career in education where Heather worked as a high school Spanish teacher, school counselor and administrator. Heather could no longer quiet the deafening cry of those impacted by disparities in mental health access in her communities. As an army of one, she believed she could make a difference. Four years later, Heather is the founder of several counseling centers with a team of 50 clinicians and support staff with 5 locations in the Greater Houston area, serving 5 school districts with on-campus services, and over 5,350 students and families in 4 years. Heather is driven by her personal belief that “No one should hurt alone.” The Clearhope Counseling practices exist to remove access barriers to high quality mental health services. In January 2020 Heather was appointed to the 86th Texas Legislature Mental Health Task Force to study and evaluate mental health services funded by her state and to support and improve mental wellness in public schools for all students. Heather has been married for 27-years to Pastor Brian Lambert. Brian and Heather have an adult daughter, high school senior twins, and a recently adopted junior high school daughter. The Overcoming Series is a part of Heather’s mission to empower all who dare to believe in the power of HOPE!
