My therapist is extremely kind, human-centered, engaged, and invested. I don’t feel like a transactional client, but rather, a human.

Therapy curious?
No, Octave is not a subscription/membership service. Clients are charged on a per appointment basis.
Octave takes the time to learn about you and your unique concerns. Upon signing up, you will complete a short questionnaire to indicate your specific needs and preferences. After completion, clients may have the opportunity to self-select a provider, while others may opt to be matched to a provider by our Care Navigation Team. Clients may also be asked to schedule a consultation with a Care Navigator if we require more information in order to match.
Our Care Navigation Team will thoroughly review your onboarding questionnaire to learn about your unique needs and preferences. Using specialized knowledge on Octave’s providers, your Care Navigator will match you with the best possible fit.
Our mission is to make high-quality individual therapy accessible by working with insurance companies to cover mental health services in-network. Over 95% of our clients pay an average of $28 per session through insurance.
While everyone’s experience in therapy is different, there are a few basics you could expect. During your first session, your therapist will take most of the session to conduct what is called an “intake assessment” which is just asking a series of questions to have a full understanding the concerns you want to address and how they impact you, your history of emotional concerns and how different aspects of your life (like work, social, family, health) are going. Next, your therapist will collaboratively create a “treatment plan” with you which will serve as a therapy road map for the following sessions for what to focus on to achieve your specific goals. What happens after that is where everyone’s experience can be different. Some people feel immediate relief from creating a plan and starting to address their concerns. For others, it can feel a bit challenging to talk about their struggles- an analogy to think of here is that you have to disinfect a wound for it to heal properly, and sometimes the disinfecting part stings before it feels better.
With your treatment plan and therapy goals set, you’ll have a guide to know when you are feeling better and when you have succeeded in making the improvements you desired when you started the therapy process.
Yes, you can definitely return to therapy. It's common to take a break and come back when you feel the need. Clients often come back to therapy if they notice their emotions feel overwhelming, they notice a change in their behavior, or if they experience life transitions such as a move, a new relationship or a significant life loss. If you had a good connection with your previous therapist, reaching out to them is a good first step. If your needs have changed, you might consider finding a new therapist for a fresh perspective.
Take some time to think about what you want to focus on this time. Your goals or challenges may have evolved, and having a clear idea can make your sessions more effective. Once you're ready, schedule a session to discuss your current situation and goals.
