I reluctantly signed up, added my preferences (Christian, person of color, & licensed). The very next day, they matched me with someone, and the next day, they confirmed my insurance covers it, and the next day, I was able to schedule my first intake appointment. It was THAT easy!
Everything about my experience has been easy, not adding to my already stressful life. My therapist is so in tune to my needs and I feel like she truly understands my issues.
I really appreciate high-quality virtual therapy with a therapist who is understanding about my specific concerns and values, and helps me work toward addressing or fulfilling them.
My therapist genuinely helped me with my issues, unlike previous therapists I almost worked with (from other companies). And the low cost was immensely important to me.
My therapist is extremely kind, human-centered, engaged, and invested. I don't feel like a transactional client, but rather, a human.

Octave clients generally meet with their therapists on a weekly basis through a secure, HIPAA compliant video platform. Octave clients booking with an in-person provider may also have the opportunity to meet with their therapist in-office.
For virtual services, clients receive regular reminder emails containing each upcoming session’s video conferencing link. Clients will use this unique link to access their appointment.
For in-person services, all intake appointments are conducted virtually. For follow-up in-person appointments, therapists will provide their office information and specific instructions during the client’s virtual intake session.
