24/7 Support and Custom Care Pathways

Wave's dedication to integrated, continuous care is at the forefront of your personalized care pathway. Our unique approach combines the expertise of board-certified mental health coaches—who also serve as your care coordinators—with cutting-edge technology to support you at every stage of your journey. Here's how we do it:

  • Virtual One-on-One Sessions: Engage in personalized sessions with your coach via our app, where you'll receive tailored guidance and support designed to meet your unique mental health and wellbeing goals.

  • Custom "Byte"-Sized Exercises: Based on your one-on-one sessions, your coach will develop a custom program filled with manageable, "byte"-sized exercises. These are crafted to address both mental and physical health, making it easier for you to achieve your objectives at your own pace.

  • In-App Messaging for Continuous Support: To ensure you have support between your virtual sessions, Wave offers in-app messaging with your coach. This feature allows you to seek guidance, ask questions, and stay connected, ensuring you're supported every step of the way.

“The way the bytes describe feelings are very true to my experiences, and it has been helpful to learn about managing specific emotions in the bytes, too.”

“The bytes feel like mini booklets to read. They’re so clear.”

“Thanks for sending those bytes. I like how they weren’t too overwhelming, and the info in them helped me get moving even though I didn’t feel motivated.”
