Why Wave

More people are talking about mental health than ever, but that crowded conversation makes it hard to figure out what actually works.

Wave isn’t a one-size-fits-all, traditional model of on-line therapy. Wave’s approach is based in science and delivers a personalized, custom experience to each user that leverages our proprietary care model; real, responsive coaches; and 24/7 engaging content and exercises.

Wave’s coaching and digital tools look at the whole person, not just one set of symptoms. After all, behavior change starts with mental health.

More than 40 percent of Wave users see improvement in their anxiety, depression, and stress/burnout in just four sessions.

Our Real,
Responsive Coaches

Wave employs board-certified health coaches who are trained in our proprietary transdiagnostic model of care delivery.

WIth this model, our coaches don’t label you — instead, they see you as a whole person, understanding the link between your mind, your body, and your overall health.

Our coaches are affordable and accessible, available to users via text, audio, and video chat.

Board-certified and Wave-trained.
