Integrated Health Center of Excellence

Dedicated to helping those who are living with chronic illness

At Octave, it’s our priority to recruit a clinical team that represents the diversity of our clients' experiences. That's why we have created Centers of Excellence (COE's), a focused group of licensed providers who have extensive training, knowledge, and experience in treating specific populations of clients, providing specialized evidence based treatment interventions, and/or providing care for specific mental health concerns guided by best practices.

Providers in the Integrated Health COE specialize in the intersection of physical and emotional well-being, offering evidence-based support for the unique psychological challenges that accompany long-term health conditions.
