About The Wave Clinic - Young Adults
Designed for teenagers and young adults, The Wave Clinic offers a bridge to a future filled with hope. They provide specialist treatment for trauma, eating disorders, mental health disorders, and behavioural concerns, with a minimum 12-week residential stay that gives young people the time needed for lasting change. They also offer outpatient services, and therapeutic boarding and education. Discerning families from every corner of the globe appreciate The Wave’s combination of skills for living, experiential pursuits, and mental health services.
Integrate 7 Core Elements for a Better Future
The Wave’s seven core elements provide a path to a fulfilling future. Clinical care integrates evidence-based therapies (individual, group, and family), while 24/7 medical support ensures physical and psychiatric well-being. Education remains a priority, helping clients advance academically or vocationally. Global citizenship promotes awareness, responsibility and compassion. Trauma-focused healing builds resilience and emotional regulation. Experiential activities encourage connection and growth. Thoughtful planning ensures a confident transition beyond treatment.
Move Forward as a Family
The Wave sees families as partners in treatment, offering a variety of services to provide support and help rebuild relationships. Family therapy, including sibling sessions and workshops, promotes communication and growth. After discharge, families can participate in therapy intensives or short stays as ‘top-up’ therapy if they feel the client’s progress is at risk.
Enjoy Comfort & Community
The Wave’s modern, luxurious campus is in the most prestigious area in Greater Kuala Lumpur, just a 20-minute drive from the international airport. Housed within beautifully manicured gardens with 360° panoramic terraces, their spacious suites are single or shared occupancy, all with en-suite bathrooms and permission to personalise their space. Clients enjoy art and music rooms, yoga and dance studios, a gym, rooftop terrace with cinema, and an indoor pool that is the centre of evening and weekend fun.

Build a Stable Future Through Education
Education is central to The Wave’s programs, helping young people build a solid base for a stable future. They collaborate with clients’ schools to continue existing coursework through one-on-one and group tuition. Alternatively, they help clients find new educational pathways, including traditional secondary and tertiary qualifications or vocational training.
Peace of Mind for Parents
Sending a child abroad for treatment can be nerve-wracking for parents, but at The Wave, reassurance is a priority. They provide peace of mind by ensuring safety with app-based entry, uniformed security, 24/7 CCTV monitoring, and secure transport. Parents stay updated through the Parents Information Centre, keeping them informed every step of the way.
Find Hope for Eating Disorders
The Wave’s eating disorder program helps clients develop healthy relationships with food. Interpersonal therapy (IPT) and radically open dialectical behavioural therapy (RO-DBT) look carefully at the emotions and beliefs driving the disorder. Trauma-informed yoga encourages body awareness without reinforcing unhealthy exercise patterns. Clients also benefit from body-positive dining rooms and personalised nutrition to support recovery.
Take Time for Fun & Friendships Outdoors
The Wave offers unforgettable outdoor adventures that foster resilience, teamwork, and personal growth. Clients explore Malaysia’s jungles, mastering fire-starting and shelter-building at Jungle School, camping and glamping under the stars, white water rafting, orienteering and caving, and racing quad bikes. These experiences help young people find confidence after conquering their fear.
