Hi, I’m Eva Chocron, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, bilingual in English and Spanish, and deeply committed to helping you heal your relationships—starting with the one you have with yourself. I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and parents who feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in painful patterns, or disconnected from the life and love they long for. If you often feel anxious, reactive, or emotionally exhausted—especially in relationships—you’re not alone. Maybe you find yourself pleasing others at your own expense, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling misunderstood and unseen. These patterns usually have deep roots, and together, we’ll gently uncover them. Through a compassionate and culturally sensitive approach, I’ll help you make sense of your emotions, stop repeating what no longer serves you, and build the emotional clarity, confidence, and connection you deserve. This is more than therapy—it’s a journey of unlearning, healing, and becoming your most authentic self.

The quality of your relationships has left you feeling anxious depressed, frustrated, disconnected, unseen, unheard, guilty, alone… But this isn’t the end of your story. Growth and change are within your capacity. Healing within your power. Hi, I’m Cathe and I believe in our ability to break generational traumas, to heal from wounds inflicted by those who didn’t know how or didn’t have the capacity to show up for us; and to learn how to show up for ourselves. Throughout the years I’ve worked with individual who struggled with addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma and provided counseling services to military services member and their families while deployed overseas. I witnessed the significant impact that relationships can have on your overall wellbeing. From my own personal experience; as I worked to unlearn what was no longer serving me and to rediscover my worth, I was presented with how fundamentally transformative this process can be. It’s led me to learn how to live with greater peace, to create and sustain connections and to feel safe and secure in love. It’s not an easy process nor is it a painless journey but it’s worth it. As for my credentials... I earned my Master’s degree at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, National Certified Counselor, and Ph.D. candidate in Counseling with a specialization in Family and Couple Therapy, I bring a compassionate, integrative, and culturally attuned approach to therapy. I view mental health as more than the absence of illness—it is a state of well-being where individuals can access their inner resources to manage life’s challenges and thrive. In my PhD-level clinical work, I use Bowen Family Systems Therapy as a diagnostic and relational framework, while integrating trauma-informed care, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and attachment-based approaches to tailor treatment to the unique needs of each individual, couple, or family. This multidimensional approach allows me to support healing from childhood trauma, strengthen marital and relational dynamics, and empower families navigating complex life transitions. With a background in Social Sciences and a master’s in clinical Mental Health Counseling, I combine academic rigor with practical experience. I have developed strong clinical skills in assessment, multicultural counseling, and individualized intervention planning. Rooted in a strengths-based philosophy, I believe every client has inherent value and potential. My role as a therapist is to help clients tap into that strength with empathy, professionalism, and purpose.

Hello! Do you ever feel like "you are losing your mind" or "going crazy"? Do you feel like you want to share your feelings with someone but are scared or ashamed, or feeling like you should be able to "fix" your problems?

I have been a psychotherapist for over 30 years and love to help people become the healthiest and happiest person that they can be. And, I would love to help you explore your issues in a safe and comfortable manner. Whatever issues you have, be it anxiety, depression, PTSD, abuse, addiction, I am here to help you overcome what is keeping you from being the person that you want to be.
