Women's Emotional Health Center of Excellence
Dedicated to providing care tailored to the unique needs of women
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 Women's Emotional Health COE specialize in addressing the emotional and psychological challenges associated with women’s health and well being, across all stages of life.
