Ita Jervis

Ita Jervis, M.Ed., LPC – Bilingual Integrative Therapist

My name is Ita Jervis, and I work with adults who are carrying grief that others don't see. Maybe you have lost someone you love. Maybe you are navigating chronic illness, caregiving exhaustion, a miscarriage, the end of a relationship, or the loss of who you used to be. You are exhausted from appearing fine while privately struggling. You need a space where all forms of loss are recognized as legitimate — where someone won't rush you, won't minimize what you are feeling. You are reaching out because you can't keep pretending anymore.

I see you, because I have been there.

I lost two brothers without warning. I lost my father. I have lost people I loved deeply, and I have been through cancer. These losses taught me what it means to sit in grief — and that you don't have to sit there alone.

I hold a Master's in Counselor Education from the University of St. Thomas and a Bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies (Summa Cum Laude) from the University of Houston Downtown. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and an Advanced Certified Grief Recovery Specialist.

I work with adults navigating grief, loss, trauma, life transitions, chronic illness, and caregiver stress. I am fully bilingual in English and Spanish. My approach combines talk therapy with body-centered practices like sound healing, guided imagery, and breath-work — creating a space where you are fully accepted as you are.

My approach is compassionate, personalized, and integrative. I combine evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused CBT with supportive practices such as yoga, breathing exercises, and sound therapy. I also draw on my own lived experience with grief, trauma, and life transitions to guide your healing.

Together, we focus on helping you navigate any type of loss or life challenge, build resilience, reclaim your strength, and move forward with confidence. I create a safe, empowering space where your growth, well-being, and personal journey are always the priority.

In our first session, you can expect a welcoming and supportive space. We will explore what brought you here — whether you are coping with the death of a loved one, a relationship ending, career or health changes, or other significant life transitions.

Together, we will clarify your goals and begin creating a treatment plan tailored to your needs. By the end of the session, you will have a clearer sense of where we are headed and know that you don't have to face this alone.
