How We Help
Effective Treatment
You and your child will work directly with an expert therapist, either in-person or via secure videoconferencing. WaveMind therapists are all highly trained experts in the field of child and adolescent mental health problems, and only use only evidenced-based methods, so you can be assured your child is getting gold-standard care.
Convenient Care
We do our best to work around your schedule to make sure that sessions occur at a time that works for your family. Good therapy can happen in our clinic, in your home via telehealth, or in public to generalize skills and gains made.
Better Results
We are dedicated to helping your child overcome their difficulties and helping parents feel skilled to support their children. Our clinicians will work with you to design a custom treatment plan that is intuitive, effective, and backed by science.
How Therapy Works with WaveMind
Get an Initial Assessment
Work with an expert 1:1 in an initial diagnostic assessment, to identify your child's therapy needs. Our expert clinicians will help you understand your options and develop a treatment plan.
Make a Plan
Collaborate with your therapist to find a time that works for your family. You’ll discuss with your therapist a treatment plan based on your child’s difficulties.
Begin Therapy
Sessions usually occur once per week for 1 hour. For teletherapy, simply click on the link we send to your email to start the video session. For in-person therapy, we’ll schedule visits at our comfortable, conveniently located offices in West LA, Encino, or Pasadena.
Follow Up
Treatment typically lasts 12-20 sessions, but it varies for each child. Throughout your therapy experience, our team will follow up to make sure your child is overcoming their difficulties, and that you are completely satisfied. Even when your child is better, you can keep in contact with your therapist, or schedule “booster” sessions to ensure your child is maintaining their gains.
Backed by Science
The facts speak for themselves. WaveMind is backed by rigorous clinical research.
