Octave Jobs in California (NOW HIRING)

Octave is a modern mental health practice that offers both in‑person and virtual therapy. We focus on making high‑quality care more accessible and affordable by partnering with insurance providers. Our goal is to support clients and clinicians with a system built on equity, effectiveness, and sustainability.

Octave is seeking to partner with existing group practices in California (Los Angel­es, Sacramento, Riverside, San Francisco, and San Diego areas) that want to provide excellent mental health care, both in‑person and virtually. As an Octave partner, your team will join a supportive community of clinicians focused on client‑centered, evidence‑based therapy.
At Octave, we take care of all backend operations so your clinicians can focus on providing care. Our team manages credentialing, billing, marketing, technology support, and client referrals. This allows your clinicians to focus primarily on seeing the clients we connect them with and completing session documentation, removing the administrative burden from your group practice.

Your providers will support adult clients managing stress, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. We emphasize evidence‑based practices such as CBT and DBT with a strong commitment to culturally responsive care.

• Provide therapy to adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and other concerns.
• Use short‑term, evidence‑based approaches like CBT or DBT.
• Offer culturally responsive care.
• See clients virtually and/or in person (you must have your own office space to hold in‑person sessions).

• Training in therapies such as CBT, DBT, trauma‑focused treatments, or similar.
• Certain payor relationships may exclude you from employment.
• Master’s Degree or higher from an accredited school of Social Work, Psychology, Counseling, or Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling.

• We’re human beings first. We operate with empathy and kindness – with our clients, collaborators, and ourselves.
• People deserve better than status quo. We tackle the intractable problems, no matter how big, and challenge ourselves and others to make a difference.
• No bystanders. No stars. No tourists. Each person has been selected to be here and is responsible for sharing ideas and expertise.
• Partnership paves the path ahead. We work together, internally and externally, to transform the system.
• Quality is crucial at scale. Quality is core to our business, and we refuse to sacrifice it as we grow.
• Progress is a process. We iterate, reflect, learn, and adjust, leaving things better than we found them.
• There are people behind every data point. Numbers tell one part of the story; we understand impacts at the individual level.

• Prolonged periods sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
• Must communicate frequently with others through virtual meeting applications such as Zoom and Google Meet.
• Must use a laptop for observing and communicating information.
• Move up to 10 pounds on occasion.
• Must be eligible to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future.
