Mental Health Therapist, 1099 - Tennessee, Jackson Area

About the Company

Octave is a modern behavioral health practice creating a new standard for care delivery that’s both high-quality and accessible. With in-person and virtual clinics in multiple states, the company offers evidence-based individual, couples, and family therapy, while pioneering relationships with payers to make care more affordable through insurance. By raising the bar on how care is delivered and how providers are supported, we are building a sustainable system that values equity, affordability, and effectiveness.

About the Role

Octave is hiring Licensed Clinicians to work within an organizational structure to provide high-quality behavioral health care to our clients. Octave Clinicians will join a diverse clinical team in providing therapy in a collaborative, client-centered, evolving environment. You will treat adult clients with stress, depression, anxiety, or other mental health concerns via video, using short-term, evidence-based therapies such as CBT or DBT. Candidates must be licensed in Tennessee at the master's or doctoral level and be an expert in the delivery of culturally responsive care.

We are seeking Licensed Clinicians who are willing to work both in-person and remotely, but an office space is required to start. You will be able to build out a caseload that gives your clients the option to see you virtually or in-person. It is required that you already have a commercial clinical space that you can operate from to see clients in person through Octave. At this time, we are not providing an office space within the state of Tennessee. You can see clients in person from your home office or commercial office setting.

• Build and maintain a caseload that offers clients the option to see you virtually or in-person.

Requirements

• Current license in Tennessee (LMFT, LPC-MHSP, LCSW, PsyD).
• Master’s Degree or higher from an accredited school of Social Work, Psychology, Counseling, or Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling.
• Must be licensed and in good standing with your governing licensing board.
• Preferred 1 year of related post-license clinical experience; at least 2 years of experience preferred in one or more of the following areas:

  • CPT or PE for trauma
• Must have your own office space and be willing to provide in-person services in the CITY area.

• All clinical sessions must be conducted while physically located in the United States.

Skills

Company Values

• We’re human beings first. We operate with empathy and kindness – with our clients, with our collaborators, and with ourselves.
• People deserve better than status quo. We’re willing to tackle the intractable problems, no matter how big, because someone should. We ask big questions, we craft big solutions, and we challenge ourselves and others to make it happen.
• No bystanders. No stars. No tourists. Each person has been selected to be here, and with that comes a responsibility to bring your expertise, share your ideas, and help make this company better.
• Partnership paves the path ahead. We don’t operate in a silo, internally or externally. To transform the system, we believe in working with others to create something bigger, better, and stronger.
• Quality is crucial at scale. Quality is core to our business, and we refuse to sacrifice it as we grow.
• Progress is a process. In the pursuit of progress, we iterate, reflect, learn, adjust – and always leave things better than we found them.
• There are people behind every data point. We recognize that numbers tell only one part of the story, and we also do the work to understand impacts at the individual level.

Physical Requirements

• Prolonged periods sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
• Ability to frequently communicate with others through virtual meeting applications such as Zoom and Google Meet.
• Ability to observe and communicate information on a laptop.
