Octave

Octave is a mental health platform dedicated to making high-quality therapy accessible through a network of experienced, licensed therapists across 22 states and Washington D.C. The company was founded with a belief that effective mental health care requires more than brief medication management visits — it requires ongoing therapeutic relationships with skilled clinicians who practice evidence-based modalities. Octave's therapist network covers a wide range of specializations including anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship difficulties, LGBTQ+ issues, and workplace stress. Therapists practice modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic therapy, and EMDR for trauma. The platform goes beyond individual adult therapy. Octave offers therapy for teens, couples counseling, and family therapy — making it a useful option for households seeking multiple types of mental health support through a single provider network. Octave is in-network with several major insurance plans across its coverage area, which meaningfully reduces out-of-pocket costs for patients who qualify. The average copay for insured patients is approximately $28 per session. For patients without in-network benefits, self-pay rates are transparent and available upfront. One of Octave's strengths is the quality bar for its therapist network. The company employs therapists with master's and doctoral degrees, focuses on evidence-based practice, and provides ongoing clinical oversight. This distinguishes Octave from platforms that function purely as directories and have limited quality control over their provider networks. with skilled clinicians who practice evidence-based modalities.
