Erie Hebert, LCSW, Captain (USA, REt.)
SR. DIRECTOR, Meadows Outpatient Services-HOUSTON
Erie Hebert earned undergraduate degrees in business administration from the University of New Orleans and in social work from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor. He also holds a master’s degree in social work from the University of Southern California and is a licensed clinical social worker and licensed chemical dependency counselor.
His unique career path began when he fell in love with the local food and music scene in his native New Orleans. Hebert studied business, planning to specialize in the restaurant industry. That environment proved problematic, though, for someone with a family history of addiction co-occurring mental health issues. After attending long-term treatment and an extended care program, Hebert decided to join the military. He served for 10 years in the US Army, with deployments to Baghdad and Iraq. Medically retired after wounds sustained from combat action, Hebert returned to school to remake himself as a therapist.
His experience in the treatment field includes roles as a clinical director, social worker, case manager, and therapist serving populations that include active-duty and retired military personnel, domestic violence survivors, and others in residential, outpatient, and sober living settings.
The issues of addiction and trauma are intensely personal for Hebert, who has struggled with his own addictions, combat trauma, and childhood trauma. He also lost his 19-year-old son to addiction and mental illness. Through it all, his support system rallied around him, instilling in him a desire to pay that forward by serving others.
Hebert joined the Meadows Behavioral Healthcare team in early 2023 to open The Meadows Outpatient Center-Austin. Along with the administrative tasks, business functions, and supervision/mentoring of clinical staff, he will be infusing and maintaining fidelity to the Meadows Model of care with every staff interaction, group led, and individual session conducted.
“I believe that asking for help is a strength, and it is an honor and privilege to have the opportunity to positively affect someone’s life,” Hebert says.
Married with two young daughters who keep him on his toes, in his free time, Hebert is a running enthusiast, Crossfit Level 1 certified, and an avid foodie.
EYERUSALEM “E” MULATU, LCDC, LPC, CCTP
DIRECTOR, Meadows Outpatient Services-HOUSTON
Originally from Ethiopia, Eyerusalem Mulatu was raised in Houston, Texas. She did her undergraduate work at Lamar University, earning a BS in psychology with a minor in criminal justice. She also holds a master’s in education from Texas Southern University and a master’s in business administration from Texas Woman’s University.
A licensed chemical dependency counselor, licensed professional counselor, and certified clinical trauma professional, Mulatu has held positions as a counselor, lead therapist, and residential supervisor. She’s worked in inpatient, residential, and outpatient settings that serve dually diagnosed patients. Her more than a decade of experience in the field also includes supervising a residential facility for survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse, along with working with executive clients, commercial airline pilots, and members of the NFL to bring awareness to mental health and substance use addiction. She has also worked with clients in private practice via telehealth.
Mulatu always had a passion for connecting with people, learning their stories, and finding out how she could be of aid. A month after graduating college, she began working in a residential facility for women who grew up in dysfunctional homes, often abused sexually and struggling with substance abuse addiction, mental health, and legal issues. Many of them were working on rebuilding their lives, and it helped Mulatu discover her purpose. From there, she continued to grow professionally in order to empower her clients, heading up Meadows Behavioral Healthcare’s Texas Virtual IOP. In 2023, she was named director of The Meadows Outpatient Center-Houston, overseeing our newest location in the Lone Star state.
Mulatu shares her home with her significant other and is actively involved in the community, volunteering with children at a local church. Downtime is filled with hiking, water activities, self-care, trying new local restaurants, and traveling internationally as well visiting family in Seattle and Texas.
