Conquer anxiety + OCD. Live a full, meaningful life.

 When life starts to feel off-track or you're feeling stuck, you might wonder – should I go to therapy? If you’re thinking about taking this brave step, you have many therapists to choose from (it can be overwhelming!). Whether you're looking to see a therapist online or in person here in South Florida -  you have the luxury of finding a therapist who is exactly the right fit for you!

​I am a bilingual psychologist in Pembroke Pines, Florida, and my area of specialty is in helping children and adults who struggle with anxiety, OCD, and related issues. I also love working with parents to support them in empowering their children and teens to learn to cope with anxiety. 
Get to Know Dr. Elizabeth Penela
I'm honored to serve the Broward community in South Florida, including Weston, Pembroke Pines, Cooper City, Davie and Miramar. It can be tough to find a psychologist who specializes in treatment for anxiety and OCD in certain geographic areas. But legislation recently passed that authorizes psychologists to practice via tele-health across state lines. Now, in addition to seeing patients in my office in Pembroke Pines, I also provide therapy online to individuals in Florida and all PSYPACT participating states.

The information on this site can help you decide whether we might work well together. If you have any questions, let's find a time to talk soon. We can get to know each other and decide if we're a good fit. ​
