A Brighter Horizon for Behavioral Health

In 2025, the founders of Sunwave and Lightning Step realized they shared a common goal. They envisioned a world where behavioral health professionals actually felt supported by the technology they use, so they could dedicate more time to their patients—and themselves.

Both organizations were born from believing that we work better in community, supporting one another along the way. This inspired them to unite their extensive experience in behavioral health as individual organizations, and become one.

Joined together as Sunwave, we’re envisioning a brighter horizon for behavioral health.

Your Partner in Care

As we move toward a brighter future for care, we’re taking time to research and listen to behavioral health professionals like you. Together, we are elevating care.

Your Partner in Innovation

We are proud to be the first AI-native behavioral health platform to launch in the market, and the first ISO 42001 AI certified technology—the global standard for ethical, responsible, explainable, and secure AI development. We are committed to ethical AI and while pursuing innovation to help you stay ahead of your peers on the AI compliance front.

Our Mission

We believe the people behind behavioral health deserve technology that works as hard as they do. For too long, clinicians have carried the weight of fragmented systems: switching platforms, chasing records, and managing workflows that pull their attention away from the people who need them most.

Our mission is to unify those fragmented systems so the people delivering care never have to choose between their patients and their platform. Because behavioral health has always been about people. And healing happens when we support one another.

Our Vision

We envision a world where every behavioral health professional has the time, tools, and technology to deliver continuous, high-quality care at every stage of the patient journey. Where organizations can see more patients, support their staff, and never lose sight of what really matters: people.

The behavioral health community is strongest when technology works with them, not against them. That’s the horizon we are building toward together.
