WELCOME

Take the First Step

Perhaps many of us wish that our lives were easier, happier, less frustrating, more satisfying, or filled with meaning and positive experiences. At times, life circumstances may be out of your control. Sometimes you may feel you have the power to change your situation, and other times you may feel that you do not. Even when your external situation cannot be changed, your internal world, like your thoughts and emotions and the way you view the world is within your control.

Everyone suffers to some degree, whether it be from a lost job, a traumatic event, ongoing depression, anxiety, the state of the world, or worry over a loved one. Or maybe you are having difficulty in your marriage or relationship or coping with postpartum depression and transitioning into life as a parent, or suffering from grief from the loss of a loved one. Life is full of these experiences. And it can be difficult to figure out what part of our experiences is within our means to change and what part we lean into with acceptance.

Therapy is a process of discovering your own wisdom to discern how to move forward, what you can accept, and what you want to change. And often, it is through the act of accepting our circumstances for what they are that change begins to happen. But that is a scary road to go alone. Therapy is a process for not only overcoming fears, anxiety, depression, and grief, but also for developing an empowered and deeper relationship with oneself and, as a result, with others as well.

If you would like to take that first step, please don’t hesitate to call.

WHO WE ARE

Dr. Isaac (Zac) Florez

I am an experienced psychologist based in Denver.  I strive to foster a genuine and compassionate space so that we may collaboratively work toward understanding your current struggles. Within the therapeutic space that we create together, personal empowerment, self-exploration, and desired change can happen.

Your strengths, as well as your understanding of the current state of your internal world, will inform therapy. As we work together, I will guide you toward identified areas where you may be stuck, and with that knowledge, we can work toward helping you lead the full life you deserve.

Dr. Florez is Not Accepting New Patients.

Happy to provide referrals.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Fees and FAQs

Taking the first step toward seeing a therapist can be a daunting idea for some, and you may not know what to expect. Here are some answers to questions you might be thinking about.

What Does It Cost? How Do I Pay for Therapy?

Ongoing telehealth services are billed at $225 per 50-minute session and $275 for a 60-75-minute initial intake session. Payment will be collected each time you meet with your therapist. We accept electronic forms of payment, including Zelle/Venmo, HSA, and credit cards.

Under PSYPACT, Dr. Florez offers telehealth in 38 states, including AL, AZ, AR, CT, CO, DE, DC, GA, FL, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, ME, MD, MN, MI, MO, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NC, OH, OK, PA, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, WV, WI, and WY. New states will be noted when legislation is passed.

Initial and Ongoing Sessions

What Should I Expect From the Initial Meeting?
The therapeutic relationship is going to be the building block for your growth and healing. It is important that you feel comfortable and confident with your therapist. During the initial appointment, we will discuss what you would like to get help with and discern whether your therapist is a good fit for you. If your therapist is unable to meet your needs, you will be provided with referrals for someone who may better serve you.

How Often Do I Come In for Therapy?
We will determine what would work for you once we meet. One session per week is typical for most people. However, individuals in significant distress may benefit from twice-weekly sessions until they feel more stable. Others find that coming every other week is ideal.

Insurance

Do You Accept Insurance?
We are a self-pay practice. Being self-pay means that we don’t work through insurance companies for reimbursement. If you have out-of-network (OON) insurance benefits, in most cases, we can provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company based on their rules for post-session out-of-network reimbursement. Superbills are receipts that show you have paid for therapy out of pocket (OOP). Superbills require medical necessity, so we will have to assign you a diagnosis. We can also provide you with a Good Faith Estimate of charges.

For out-of-network coverage, depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, it is possible for services to be covered in full or in part. Please contact your insurance carrier to verify how your plan compensates you for psychotherapy services. As a practice that does not accept insurance or participate in any insurance panels, we try our best to provide as much support around out-of-network claims as we can. Unfortunately, we do not have much leverage with the insurance companies, which can sometimes mean reimbursement is not possible. We can ensure that our information is correct and up to date, but we are not able to assist further.

We recommend asking these questions of your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:

  • Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?
  • Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it, and have I met it yet?
  • Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?
  • Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered?
  • Can I receive services through an out-of-network provider and be reimbursed?

No Surprises Act

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost

Under the law, health care providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
  • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider and any other provider you choose for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
  • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
  • Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises

Cancellation Policy

If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 48 business hours beforehand; otherwise, you are responsible for the full session fee.
