I have 12 years of clinical experience working with teens, young adults and adults. In addition to working with common mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, interpersonal challenges, etc., I have broader experience working with children of divorce, trauma, grief and LGBTQAI+ populations. We all have a fundamental need to feel known, cared for and understood and I am honored to have a career in which I can be that person for others. The therapeutic process is hard to explain and better to be experienced. As we feel known, cared for and understood by not only another but with time, ourselves, it’s a special kind of magic that can bring about deep healing and shifts. A little bit about me; I was born and raised in Miami, Florida and have also lived in Boston, Massachusetts and Boulder, Colorado. I am now back home, married and a mother of two wild and wonderful boys. Some things that I love are music, nature, hidden gems, good food, deep talks, movies, a good workout, and adventure!

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.

Hi. I'm Gloria, LMHC in the FL State. Are you going through depression, anxiety, long-lasting effects of trauma, adjustment to new cultures, or dealing with children and adolescents with behavioral problems? Are you part of a minority facing bigotry and adaptation to the main culture; or having relational problems preventing you from having the good life you deserve? In a few words, are you a human being who is struggling to be the best that you can be? If your answer is yes to one of these questions then, you are the client I want to serve. Together we can find the tools you need to grow and enhance your strengths; yes your strengths, those that you have even if you can't recognize them. I’ll work within an array of therapeutic approaches, always in the here and now, to familiarize yourself with your mind and its work because I’m convinced that, “ Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom." Depression, anxiety, losses, adjustments, trauma these all are inexhaustible sources of pain. We all, as humans, share them so, "Maybe that's the point of humanitarianism, it's in making the effort, it's in sending the message that you actually care." I care. Feel free to contact me.

You have a great career, stable housing, your bills are paid (on time), maybe even running a household with kids, and you look like, to others, you have it all together. Yet you find yourself stuck in the “perfectionism,” “people-pleasing,” or “procrastination” tendencies. You look around at all you “have” and feel like you “should” be happy. Yet, there is this persistent feeling of not feeling fulfilled. No matter what accomplishment you achieve, there is “always” another and even when you do reach that next bar, the “good feelings” are short-lived. If you’re tired of being stuck in these same old cycles, you’re in the right place. Together we’ll explore the underlying roots of these cycles, leverage your strengths, and use tools to help you rewire your thinking styles to empower you to move forward with confidence and clarity.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Florida rather than a city like Tampa?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Florida from Miami to Jacksonville! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Florida.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Trauma and PTSD?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Trauma and PTSD, is filtering therapists in Florida that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
