The Science Behind WaveMind
Scientific evidence forms the basis of everything we do
What makes treatment evidenced based?
Therapy comes in many different flavors and styles. But just because it's called therapy, doesn't mean it's clinically proven.
Evidenced based therapies (EBTs) are have been rigorously studied and measured in large scale, academic research studies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Parent-Child Interactive Therapy (PCIT) are some of the more common, EBTs.
EBTs are listed as ‘best practice’ and ‘preferred’ approaches for mental health symptom treatment by both the American Psychiatric Association and the American Psychological Association
Proven
Each treatment method used at WaveMind has been proven in multiple academic studies and meta-studies.
Accountable
Therapists must remain accountable to each patient and ensure that their interactions and treatment plans are effective.
Data-driven
Treatment is driven by recording and analyzing data from each session, ensuring progress is made each week.
The benefits of evidenced based treatment for children
Children treated through evidenced-based therapy methods are much more likely to see positive outcomes.
More Likely to Improve
Studies have proven that evidenced-based treatments are more likely to lead to positive outcomes.
Faster Recovery
Designed to be faster than traditional methods. Start seeing results in your child in weeks, not years.
Reduced Reoccurence
Children being treated for anxiety and behavior disorders are less likely to see symptoms reoccur.
The Research
WaveMind was founded on the groundbreaking finding that internet-delivered therapy is just as effective - and in some cases more effective - than in-person therapy for children with anxiety and behavior disorders.
