About this role
Octave is building a modern behavioral health practice and is seeking licensed clinicians to deliver evidence-based therapy to adult clients in New York City. As a 1099 contractor, you would work within their collaborative clinical team, treating clients for depression, anxiety, stress, and related concerns through both virtual sessions and in-person appointments at their Flatiron clinic (available at no cost to you). The role emphasizes short-term, evidence-informed approaches—particularly CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused modalities—paired with culturally responsive care and a commitment to making mental health treatment more accessible and affordable.
You'll need a master's or doctoral degree in a relevant field and current licensure in New York (LMFT, LPCC, LCSW, LMHC, or PsyD).

The role calls for someone comfortable with feedback-informed care using standardized measures, skilled at building therapeutic alliance, and genuinely invested in expanding access to quality mental health services.
Compensation ranges from $85 to $143 per hour depending on licensure level and whether sessions are virtual or in-person.

You'll need a personal, unmanaged device meeting current security standards and reliable internet for Zoom and Google Meet sessions.
