Find a therapist in California

In California, we are in-network with Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Centivo, Health Net, Cigna, Evernorth. At this time, if you are insured through Medicare, Medicaid, Medi-Cal, or Tricare we are not able to provide services to these beneficiaries due to associated regulatory requirements.

Online therapy at Octave works by connecting you with a qualified therapist who matches your indicated needs and preferences. You will meet your therapist through a secure video platform using your computer or phone, so you can have your session in a comfortable location such as your home. During your first session, your therapist will understand your history of emotional concerns and how different aspects of your life are going. Then, your therapist will develop a “treatment plan” with you in order to have a roadmap for what you will focus on during the following sessions, in order to achieve your specific goals for therapy.

The therapist you need depends on the specific concerns or goals you would like to address in therapy. Octave therapists are skilled in providing individual, couples, and family therapy and are well versed in a variety of clinically backed approaches (such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy) in order to address a wide range of conditions and concerns, such as anxiety, depression and stress. Octave has over 1,000 licensed therapists with diverse backgrounds, so you can get matched with someone who is right for you.

Therapy costs range depending on your insurance provider; on average, Octave clients pay $28 per therapy session. To calculate how much therapy costs in California with your insurance provider or out-of-pocket, please visit our insurance page.
