Group Practice Partnership

About the Company:

Octave is a modern behavioral health practice creating a new standard for care delivery that’s both high-quality and accessible. With in-person and virtual clinics in multiple states, the company offers evidence-based individual, couples, and family therapy, while pioneering relationships with payers to make care more affordable through insurance. By raising the bar on how care is delivered and how providers are supported, we are building a sustainable system that values equity, affordability, and effectiveness.

About the Role:

Octave is seeking to partner with group practices located in California and is interested in providing high-quality behavioral health care both in-person and remotely. We invite group practice owners to collaborate with us in building a diverse clinical team committed to client-centered therapy within a dynamic and evolving environment.

As a group of Octave Clinicians, you’ll be part of a supportive team dedicated to delivering therapy that prioritizes collaboration and client needs. We value strong clinical thinking grounded in evidence-based practices, ensuring customized mental health treatment plans for our clients. You will provide therapy via video sessions, focusing on adult clients dealing with stress, depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns, using short-term, evidence-based therapies.

Providers of your group must hold a master’s or doctoral level license in California and possess expertise in evidence-based therapies, such as CBT or DBT, along with a commitment to culturally responsive care. (It’s ok if all of them are not fully licensed! We’ll work with the ones who are fully licensed!)

We are excited to announce the addition of in-person therapy sessions for both providers and clients, offering a more personalized approach to care. This change allows for increased rates and expands the number of clients you can serve. Please note that you must have a commercial clinical space from which to see clients in person through Octave, as we currently do not provide office space within California. You can conduct in-person sessions from your home office or commercial office setting.
