Brooke Frenkel

Dr. Brooke Frenkel is a licensed psychologist providing evidence-based assessment and treatment for children presenting with a range of behavioral and developmental differences, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). She is also a trained provider of Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE), an evidence-based program developed at the Yale Child Study Center to treat childhood anxiety and OCD exclusively through work with parents. Dr. Frenkel is deeply devoted to comprehending and addressing the individual needs of every child and family she works with. A cornerstone of her practice is her specialization in feeding therapy, through which she supports children and their families in navigating and resolving eating and nutritional challenges. In addition to her specialized work in feeding therapy, Dr. Frenkel also offers parenting sessions, enabling parents and caregivers to understand, support, and engage effectively with their children's developmental and behavioral needs. These sessions underscore the importance of a cooperative and informed approach, ensuring that children not only receive therapeutic intervention but also benefit from an understanding and nurturing home environment. Dr. Frenkel obtained her doctoral degree from Nova Southeastern University. She completed an internship emphasizing assessment and behavioral interventions for younger children, specifically those aged 0-5 enrolled in Early Head Start/Head Start of Miami Dade County. This formative experience further enriched her skills, as she collaborated closely with teachers and families. She also provides training and psychoeducation on various facets of childhood development, reinforcing her belief in the importance of a community-centered approach to child welfare. Dr. Frenkel provides telehealth services, school observations, and school on-site services, as well as services out of the Aventura and Miami Beach offices.
