Great experience!
My therapist Zahra is a caring person who has helped me develop the tools I need to handle difficult life stressors. While I am moving away, I had a great experience with Zahra and Octave.

Therapist arrived late and didn't even know my name.
I was matched with a therapist through Octave. He arrived 11 minutes late (Octave said it was 8 minutes late), and the session ended abruptly 5 minutes before the end of the hour, for a total of 44-47 minutes.
I had filled out all the pre-requisite materials about a week in advance of my first appointment, with detailed descriptions of my mental health history. My therapist seemed scattered, disorganized, and had not read any of my on-boarding materials or mental health history, and didn't even know my name. The ONLY thing discussed during this first session was, point-by-point, the same on-boarding questions I had already answered in writing beforehand.
I was charged $430.00 for this appointment (Octave said this is the standard rate for all appointments booked through their platform), of which $212.32 was paid by my insurance, requiring $217.68 out of pocket.
I called Octave about this, and was told that the therapist has a 15 minute grace period, and is not "required" (but, "is encouraged") to read any of the patient on-boarding materials ahead of time, so there is "no problem as [they] see it". This was, by far, the most unprofessional and disappointing experience I have ever had in over 20 years of working with therapists and therapy providers.
