Psychiatric care the way it should be.
Wave Psychiatric Group is a physician-led psychiatric practice offering medication management, psychotherapy, and integrated mental health treatment. See us in person in West Los Angeles, or via telehealth anywhere in California. We accept Aetna, Optum, UBH, Meritain, and more.
We believe mental health care should be personal, thorough, and genuinely accessible. At Wave Psychiatric Group, every patient is always seen by a board-certified psychiatrist — MD-level expertise, personalized treatment, and time to actually hear your story.
Our approach
Every Wave clinician is a board-certified psychiatrist with advanced training in both medication management and psychotherapy. Our team trained at leading institutions including UCLA, and brings deep specialization across a range of conditions and populations.
We believe in-network psychiatry shouldn't mean sacrificing quality. Our West Los Angeles practice accepts major insurance, such as Aetna and Optum, while maintaining the highest standards of care — including physician-only treatment, and individualized matching.
We treat the full range of mental health conditions.
Our psychiatrists have expertise across a wide range of diagnoses, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, psychosis, personality disorders, insomnia, addiction, and more. With multiple physicians on staff — each with distinct specializations — we match you to the right clinician for your specific situation.
In-person and remote options
Our office is conveniently located in the heart of West LA, close to the freeways and Metro stop. Can’t make it into the office? No worries – we’ve got you covered with telemedicine visits.
