Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at nthompson@bicoastalcc.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

I accept some insurance plans, and my in-network status can change, so rather than list specific insurers here, I'd encourage you to ask during our free consultation and I can let you know where things currently stand. I also offer self-pay, sliding scale, and out-of-network options, so there are a few different ways to make working together financially manageable.  You can learn more on my Services & Fees page or Out of Network Insurance page.


A superbill is a detailed receipt of our sessions that includes the information your insurance company needs to process an out-of-network reimbursement claim, such as diagnosis and procedure codes, the date of service, and the fee paid. I provide these upon request. Reimbursement amount and eligibility depend entirely on your specific plan, so I'd recommend contacting your insurance company directly to ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits before we begin.


My self pay fee for a standard 45-minute session is $135. You can find full details on my Services & Fees page.


Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. I'll ask about what's bringing you to therapy, your history, and what you're hoping to get out of our work together, and you're welcome to ask me anything about my approach or experience. There's no pressure to share more than you're comfortable with right away. By the end, we'll talk about what next steps might look like.


Sessions take place over a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. You'll just need a private space, a stable internet connection, and a phone, tablet, or computer with a camera and microphone. I'll send you a link before each session, no special software download required.


Yes. Research consistently shows that telehealth therapy is as effective as in-person therapy for most concerns, including anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Many clients also find it easier to be consistent with sessions since there's no commute involved.


I'm licensed to practice in Arizona, Delaware, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia. You must be physically located in one of these states at the time of our session for us to legally meet.


Life happens, and I understand that plans sometimes need to change. I ask for at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Sessions cancelled with less notice are subject to the full session fee. 


Most clients start with weekly sessions, since consistency tends to help early on, but this really depends on your individual needs. We'll talk about what makes sense for you during our consultation, and the frequency can always be adjusted together as we go and as your needs change. 


Reach out through my contact page or book a free consultation directly. We'll spend a few minutes talking about what you're looking for and whether we seem like a good fit before scheduling a full first session.
