Higher Functioning is Within Reach

Flatirons Cognitive Therapy strives to offer individualized care, with more direct access to the provider than is typical. The level and frequency of communication, time spent with each patient, coordination and planning, and attention to each case outside of the patient's scheduled visit is greater. We purposely limit our caseloads because we do not want our patients to feel like they are "just a number". We hope that each client will feel well-supported.

We are very comfortable working with people of all backgrounds, with varying cognitive skills and interests. For example, we have treated doctors, attorneys, entrepreneurs, construction workers, truck drivers, stay-at-home parents, freelance writers, teachers, graduate students, and people who are actively looking for employment.

No, you do not need a doctor’s referral to see us. Referrals are typically necessary if you are using health insurance, but because we do not bill insurance, a doctor’s referral is not needed.

We will accept cash, checks, or credit cards - Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or American Express. We can also accept HSA.

No, we are currently not in network with commercial health insurance or Medicaid. This is primarily because billing insurance makes it very challenging for us to practice in the way we feel yields the best outcomes. We can provide a superbill if you want to try to submit to your insurance for reimbursement.

Under certain circumstances, we can bill auto insurance.

No shows and cancellations made less than 24 hours before the appointment will be charged 50% of the cost of the visit, as this makes it very difficult for us to schedule other patients in need. Cancellation fees will not be applied in the event of emergency or illness.

• Driver’s license

• Reading glasses or hearing aids, if you wear them

• Any records that are not available in electronic form

It is difficult to answer this question without an evaluation. We are usually better able to provide an estimate by the end of the first session.

We ask that you avoid coming into the office if you are sick, but we are happy to change any in-person appointments to telehealth if you still wish to have the appointment.

Not everyone who comes to Flatirons Cognitive Therapy has a medical diagnosis. Some of our clients are just people who are struggling to figure out how to manage certain aspects of life. Some are people who have had diagnostic workup which doesn't show any neurodegenerative process, but they still feel they aren't functioning well. We have helped overwhelmed parents, students who are not keeping up with their schoolwork, and people who feel that they aren't as sharp as they used to be. Our goal is to understand each client's specific goals and needs, and provide functional strategies and guidance for lifestyle changes that optimize cognitive performance. Feel free to call and share your specific struggles so we can figure out if this is a good fit!

This is a great question.

We do have a slight preference for in-person testing because we are able to do a little more if the patient is in our office, but we are still able to get quite a bit of information through telehealth evaluations.

We find telehealth therapy sessions to be very effective. During the COVID-19 lockdown, many health professionals had to adapt to telehealth service delivery, and we found that most of our patients actually prefer it. Through video calls, screen sharing, and other tools, we are able to provide the same level of service that our in-person clients receive. Telehealth makes hard-to-find, specialized care accessible to people in all parts of our state, and even in other states.

Teletherapy is a great option for individuals who cannot or will not drive, individuals who live far away, or individuals who only have an hour to spare during the day and need to squeeze an appointment in during that time.
