Bring your mental health into focus

Octave exclusively hires providers who are highly experienced and fully licensed. Each candidate undergoes a comprehensive interview process, which includes a detailed assessment by our Clinical Leadership Team. As part of this evaluation, providers are required to review a clinical case study and demonstrate their ability to effectively assess clients, develop individualized treatment plans, and deliver culturally competent care. Additionally, all providers must pass a stringent background check and receive approval from our credentialing committee. To ensure continued excellence, providers are regularly monitored to confirm their good standing with their respective licensing boards and the National Provider Database.

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.

Yes, everything you and your therapist discuss is private and your therapist is trained to ensure confidentiality. We understand that in order to work through life's most challenging issues, you need a space and provider that is trusted. There are some special circumstances such as immediate danger to self or others where a therapist might need to break confidentiality to get help but the therapist will review those circumstances with you at the start of treatment so you are aware of those rules. Rest assured, we follow all provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

Octave was founded to provide outcome-focused mental health care that measurably changes lives. We have a curated group of quality therapists and have a rigorous selection process before letting therapists work on our platform. Our providers all have years of experience and their specialties are vetted to ensure that the providers can truly provide the best care. We also measure our clients' symptoms over time to ensure that meaningful improvement is actually happening. Check out our approach to care page to learn more.

Octave focuses care on goal-oriented therapy approaches so that people can get out of therapy and focus on living their lives. For more information, visit the Our Approach to Therapy page.
