Hello! My name is Ita Jervis. I am an educator, a psychotherapist, a yoga teacher, and an advanced certified grief specialist. I am fully bilingual in English and Spanish and welcome the opportunity to provide services to those who speak either language. I offer in-person, one-on-one grief support services in Houston, TX. I also offer online one-on-one grief support services, as well as Grief related presentations worldwide.

From an early age, I was aware that the one certainty in life is death. I associated grief with funerals and sympathy cards and was always deeply affected by the suffering that accompanied that most difficult of times. The unexpected loss of two brothers at an early age, followed by the death of my father and other loved ones heightened the association between death and grief, but as I grew older, I learned, through personal experience and professional practice, that grief has many causes other than death. Life altering events such as academic challenges, changing residences, the end of a relationship, the loss of health, loss of a career or job, loss of faith and trust, loss of safety, divorce, injury, retirement, pregnancy, miscarriage and so many others can trigger feelings of grief.

The COVID-19 pandemic, affecting all the world, made me more than ever aware of the collective suffering of grief and led to an epiphany on my part; led me to research the tools and methods whereby I could help others deal with unresolved grief. This research, in turn, led to the Grief Recovery Method Institute, and, ultimately, to becoming an Advanced Certified Grief Recovery Specialist. My goal now is to use my training, my knowledge, and my experience to help you begin to process your grief, so that you can move forward with your life.

I have a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies, graduating Summa Cum Laude from the University of Houston Downtown. Subsequently, I earned a master’s degree in Counseling Education from the University of St. Thomas in Houston. Having completed the licensure requirements, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, and, as noted above, I am an Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist as certified by the Grief Recovery Method Institute.

Grief can be a lonely journey. I cannot walk this path for you, but you do not need to walk this path alone. I am here to walk alongside you and guide you step-by-step through the Grief Recovery Method program, so that I can help you with your recovery and emotional needs. You are not alone. Please contact me if I can be of any service to you!
