Andetria Hampton (formerly Green), grew up in Trinity Gardens and attended HISD schools from grades K-12. She graduated from Kashmere High School in 1991. While attending Kashmere, Andetria participated in various clubs and activities and was extremely dedicated and proud to have been selected as a Cheerleader from grades 9th-12th. Andetria served as captain of the Cheerleaders in grades 11th and 12th. This was the first experience in leadership that would awaken a new skill set that would ultimately open many doors to future career opportunities. Andetria completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Houston and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Counseling at Prairie View A&M University.
An important part of her professional career was dedicated to teaching upper elementary students, New Teacher Development, Family and Community Engagement, and Leadership Development in Houston’s Independent School District. She earned 2 Teacher of the Year awards during her 4 years of teaching. Through her hard work and dedication to students, Andetria was selected to travel nationwide with the University of Houston’s program Consistency Management and Cooperative Discipline to create tailored courses and programs as well as train educators on working with inner-city students to provide the best possible learning environment within the classroom walls. From there, Andetria moved to Cypress-Fairbanks ISD as a School Counselor for 8 years. Although her skill set allowed her to incite real change in the way that teaching and counseling services are offered throughout the local school system, she always felt motivated to create these sorts of outcomes for individuals through personalized counseling and therapy. Currently, Andetria works as a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Registered Play Therapist in her private practice, Green Pastures Therapy and Counseling, PLLC. Currently, she provides various types of therapy (Trauma, EMDR, DBT, etc.) for clients coping with mental health diagnoses and life issues.
Over the years, Andetria has worked as a volunteer for many charitable organizations. She helped to develop the sports-based after-school program for Hamp’s Camp, Inc, which was developed by her husband, Rodney Hampton, where after-school services have been provided for numerous schools in HISD since 2010.
As the loving wife to a former professional athlete and the mother to three beautiful children (Rani, Rodney, Jr., and Rylee), Andetria is dedicated to providing love and support to her family and community. Andetria enjoys traveling, spending time with family, and helping others become their best selves!
