OCD and Anxiety Therapy near Cooper City

The city of Cooper City offers many excellent opportunities for exposures, which is a key part of CBT and ERP therapy for anxiety and OCD for children and adults!

Exposures are practiced in session, and are also assigned as practice to be done outside of the therapy session. If you are struggling with social anxiety, you can practice striking up casual conversations at small coffee shops or the local library. And if you're anxious or get obsessive thoughts about contamination, going to a playground or public bathrooms, can be a great practice exposure.

Dr. Penela's Personal Favorite Spots in Cooper City!

Dr. Penela is smiling in her therapy office, located near Cooper City.
  • Brian Piccolo Sports Park - Yes, there are lots of soccer fields and a great playground here - but the best part of this park is the Velodrome, where you can ride your bike or skate in a cool atmosphere!
  • The Melting Pot - cheese fondue for appetizer, and then chocolate fondue for dessert? Yes, please!  This restaurant is a big hit for special occasions in our family. 
  • Dairy Queen - there are many great ice cream spots to choose from in Broward - but the Chocolate Dipped Cone from Dairy Queen is a classic that hits the spot on a hot afternoon!
