We understand it can be frustrating when a place cannot provide the services you need or cannot provide them as quickly as you need them, so we wanted to provide some guidance on other places you can try.
THERAPY: A very good website for finding therapists in your area is Psychology Today (https://www.psychologytoday.com/us). On this website, you can search by insurance, ages seen, location, what services you need, etc.
ASSESSMENT: The Psychology Today website does not show a lot of options for assessment, so we have included a few below. You will need to call these places to see if they have openings and take your insurance. If you find a good place and want us to add them to our website, please send us an email. Please note that we cannot speak to the quality of assessments done at any of these clinics.
Autism Testing
- If you are seeking ABA for your child, please make sure the clinic you use gives both a clinician-administered test and an autism parent rating form or ABA will not be covered.

- Note: Lifestance does autism testing but told us over the phone in the spring of 2023 that they do not do a clinician administered test, which is required to enroll in ABA, so if ABA is your goal, please keep this in mind.
