How do I schedule an appointment?

Please visit our “Contact” page or e-mail at contact@acuriouspath.org to request to schedule an appointment. I offer a free, 15-minute telephone consultation to those interested in establishing services (optional.) A Curious Path values your time and investment, and a consultation can be helpful for all prospective clients to ensure our approach can meet your treatment needs. If we are unable to provide services, we will provide you with a list of referral options for your consideration.

Where are you located?

A Curious Path is located on the I-75 Business spur in Sault Ste. Marie, MI or available virtually to residents of Michigan. An address and directions will be provided to you during the intake process.

What do services cost? How do I pay?

A Curious Path accepts limited insurance and is in-network with plans from: Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Blue Care Network, and Aetna.

If this is out-of-network with your insurance carrier, and you have out-of-network benefits, we can provide you with documentation that you can submit to your insurance carrier for possible reimbursement. Please check with your insurance on their out-of-network coverage. If you are unsure if your insurance coverage includes behavioral health services, or are unsure of your co-pay or if you have met your deductible, please contact your insurance company.

The cash rate for a 60-minute session is $175 payable by cash, check, credit/debit card, or HSA/FSA card. Payment is collected at the time of service. Clients are required to keep an active form of payment on file throughout treatment.

What is the cancellation policy?

24-hour notice is required for all missed visits including cancellations, reschedule requests, and “no shows”. A $50 fee will be charged for missed appointments with less than 24 hour notice. This fee helps to recover operational costs associated with the reserved time slot and ensures quality care to all clients. Please notify us as soon as possible if you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment.

How often will I be seen?

Frequency of visits is determined collaboratively and on a case-by-case basis. We prioritize the frequency and continuity of your care. We understand that regular appointments are important to supporting your wellness goals, and are dedicated to making sure you have access to routine care.

Do you offer crisis services?

A Curious Path does not provide crisis or emergency services. If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis or emergency, please seek immediate assistance from a professional crisis service. Our office is not equipped to provide emergency mental health care.

For immediate support, please contact one of the following resources:

• National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: Call 988 (available 24/7)

• Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741 (available 24/7)

• Emergency Services: Call 911 for immediate assistance

Your well-being is a priority, and we encourage you to utilize these resources for urgent support as needed.

What is the best way to reach A Curious Path?

The best way to reach us is through the “Contact” page or by e-mail at contact@acuriouspath.org. Current clients can best reach us through our secure client portal messaging feature. Phone calls to  906-287-3076 are welcome. If a voicemail is received outside of business hours or during a client session, please allow 24 business hours for your call to be returned.

How do I know therapy can help me?

A Curious Path is most effective for those with a readiness for therapy who make a commitment to the process. You may most benefit from counseling if you feel a desire for healing and growth.

We welcome and encourage an initial, free consultation to provide prospective clients and the therapist an opportunity to assess therapeutic fit. Variables including level of care needs, scheduling conflicts, and/or other best practice concerns will be addressed initially and ongoing throughout treatment. If at any time it is determined by the client or provider that A Curious Path is not the appropriate practice to provide treatment, referrals will be provided.

Does A Curious Path have social media accounts?

A Curious Path maintains limited social media including an Instagram and Facebook page. These pages serve to primarily provide contact information or other relevant practice information. Please understand that we will not respond or reply to clients or other treatment related requests on social media platforms. We do not “follow” or engage with past or present clients through social media in order to protect confidentiality and maintain appropriate ethical boundaries. If you contact us via social media platforms to inquire about establishing services, we will kindly direct you to A Curious Path website contact page.
