Founder & Director
David Pepose
I completed my training at Jefferson University in 2018, and from the very beginning my heart has been with children. I spent five years working alongside Dr. Norman Indich in general pediatrics, caring for over 25,000 patients. It was through that experience that I saw, time and time again, how transformative the right intervention at the right time could be for a child and their family.
That passion led me deeper. I pursued specialized training in psychiatric medicine under the mentorship of Dr. Steven Dyckman, where I developed a strong foundation in diagnosing and supporting children and adolescents with anxiety, ADHD, OCD, and other complex challenges. But it was ABA therapy that truly captured me: the science, the outcomes, and most importantly, the kids.
That's exactly why I founded Creative Care ABA. I wanted to build a place where children are seen, families feel supported, and every treatment plan is built around the unique needs of the individual.
