Wave’s mental health coaches will help you achieve these things by holding space to talk about life’s challenges, then working with you to create a customized plan of action that meets your needs. All of this happens within the context of a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship. Wave also provides app-based, between-session mobile games and content and daily vibe checks to complement in-session insights. Most people attend coaching sessions weekly for 8 weeks. However, your coach will work hand-in-hand with you to craft an approach that’s best for you.
