About Octave
Octave is a US therapy group practice whose licensed therapists see individuals, couples and families by video and, in some cities, at its clinics. Its FAQ lists 22 states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin, and you must be in your therapist's state during each session. It is in-network with many commercial insurance plans and says most clients pay about $28 a session; self-pay is about $170 to $275 a session (in California $205 for a 45-minute individual session). Octave does not accept Medicare or Medicaid and will not see people with those plans even as self-pay. It offers talk therapy only, with no medication prescribing. No published study of Octave's services was found.
