FAQ & Resources | drlaurenpepa

Where are you located?

I see patients in Hartsdale (Westchester) and Manhattan. Patients will be seen at their preferred location.
Do you accept insurance for testing or therapy?

I do not currently participate in any insurance plans. Statements will be made available that can be submitted to your insurance company for reimbursement. Contact your insurance company directly for information on your out-of-network benefits.
Do you provide services to people outside of New York State?

I am licensed to provide services in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Florida (http://www.flhealthsource.gov/telehealth). I am also authorized to provide telehealth services to people in any state that participates in PSYPACT, a compact that allows for the interjurisdictional practice of psychologists. Check here to see if you live in a state that participates in PSYPACT.
You are a BCBA, does that mean you do applied behavior analysis (ABA)?

Great question! I have been extensively trained in the principles of ABA, and this certainly informs my practice. I use these skills to provide consultation and to help develop treatment plans. However, I do not do direct ABA therapy, and my therapy approach includes a cognitive behavioral (CBT) framework (when appropriate).
I want to learn more about autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Where can I find some online resources?

Here are a few links that may be helpful: Asperger/Autism Network (AANE) Autism Navigator Association for Science in Autism Treatment
