Welcome to Wave!

I’m Dr. Sarah Adler, Founder and CEO of Wave, and a Professor of Psychiatry at Stanford.

I know that Primary Care is the front line for mental health, and with the shortage of high-quality providers, it’s hard to find the right care for your patients, and even harder to get them to engage.

That’s why I founded Wave – a mental health platform designed for the whole person. From patient outreach to evidence-based care plans, 1:1 provider sessions, and personalized app programming, Wave seamlessly coordinates care while keeping you informed every step of the way.
