Queer Resiliency Center of Excellence

Dedicated to queer resiliency

At Octave, it’s our priority to recruit a clinical team that represents the diversity of our clients' experiences. That's why we have created Centers of Excellence (COE's), a focused group of licensed providers who have extensive training, knowledge, and experience in treating specific populations of clients, providing specialized evidence based treatment interventions, and/or providing care for specific mental health concerns guided by best practices.

Providers in the Queer Resiliency COE may identify as being part of the LGBTQ+ community and have extensive training and experience working with the LGBTQ+ community.

I am passionate about LGBTQ+ work because helping clients accept their marginalized identity (or identities) has the power to transform lives.
