Find a TherapistI love my counselor, and I am so grateful Octave has made this resource easy and accessible after *years* of struggling to find the right option for me.
The scheduling is very efficient and easy. You guys are on it in terms of figuring out insurance, contacting us to get preferences and making sure we get scheduled quickly. I’ve recommended Octave to at least 10 people.
I appreciated the initial consult that Octave did with me. They took the time to match me with a therapist that has truly helped me. Octave matched me with a therapist based on my schedule and needs. I have recommended Octave to friends and coworkers, one of my coworkers is now utilizing the services.
From the first session I knew my therapist really understood what I wanted from our sessions. She was kind and compassionate while challenging me to work through my anxiety. I’ve worked with other online first mental health providers and was frequently disappointed as the matches never seemed to be the right fit. I’ve recommended Octave to several of my friends.
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.
The strong therapeutic relationship I had built with my therapist as well as the ease of conducting sessions online. It was very easy to get started and there was not a big wait until seeing my therapist for the first time.

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.
For an estimate, enter your information into our Cost Estimator. During sign-up, we'll provide a more accurate estimate based on your information. For in-network clients, we will contact your insurance company on your behalf to learn more about your coverage and benefits. Before your first session, we provide you with your Cost of Care, containing a price range you can expect to pay after your first session with your therapist.
No, Octave is not a subscription/membership service. Clients are charged on a per appointment basis.
After signing up, you may have the option to self-select a provider from a recommended list and be matched and scheduled after your confirmation is received.
