Company mission
To transform the mental health care system so more people can get the care they need when they need it. By raising the bar on how care is delivered and how providers are supported, Octave is building a sustainable system that values equity, affordability, and effectiveness. Grounded in science, Octave enables clients to experience profound change that is as measurable as it is meaningful.
Our take
With roughly 50 million adults suffering from mental illness in the United States, a new generation of startups are aiming to help people ease conditions like depression, grief, anxiety, and stress, by increasing access to mental health care.
Octave is one of these companies, classing itself as a national behavioral health practice. It offers therapy, coaching, and group classes both virtually and through in-person sessions at its drop-in studios in New York City and San Francisco. Its virtual services can be accessed in a number of US states.
After tripling the number of clients it served, by shifting its in-person offerings online and launching an exclusive virtual therapy and coaching practice, the company has seen continued growth through partnerships and network expansion. Octave seems to have remained focussed on this expansion, both increasing operations across California and furthering its presence elsewhere.
