Octave to Expand Premium Mental Health Care to Six States

We’re excited to announce we’re expanding access to life-changing care that won’t take a lifetime. Starting this spring, we will begin offering services in six new states as follows: Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Ohio, South Carolina, and Wisconsin. With these additions, we will be providing care in 23 states.

Clients will be able to access in-network therapy through a partnership with Aetna and a collaboration with Evernorth Behavioral Care Group, which delivers care to Cigna Healthcare and Evernorth members. 

Clients can expect impactful therapy from Octave. Compared to other practices, Octave patients experienced up to 40% more improvement in their depression symptoms than clients at other practices. 

“Beyond expanding access to mental health care, we’re seeking to expand access to care that measurably changes lives. Because of our thoughtfully curated network of providers and clinical model, Octave patients have historically seen significant improvements in anxiety and depression symptoms in just a month,”  said Sandeep Acharya, Founder and CEO of Octave. 

We’re welcoming licensed therapists to join Octave’s network in the six new states before clients are able to begin care in the spring. Therapists who join Octave can expect higher reimbursement rates for practicing evidence-based care, as well as administrative support and flexibility. Therapists have the option to practice both virtually and in person. 

“One of Octave's core values is built from the belief that people deserve better than the status quo"Providers deserve a sustainable model that empowers them to practice their craft while having flexibility and receiving support with patient matching. In turn, patients receive care that they can feel working for them, which is demonstrated through our outcome data,” said Golee Abrishami, Head of Clinical Care at Octave. 

Our values-driven culture has earned several accolades, including recognition as a 2024 Top Workplace in the Healthcare Industry based on employee feedback. Previously, we were recognized as a LinkedIn 2023 Top Startup and earned all five of the 2023 Top Workplaces Culture Excellence Awards.
