Hydro Theory Internship / Practicum Program

Hydro Theory is an Internship/Practicum Program developed to supplement clinical hours in graduate psychology programs. Our intention is to INCREASE capacity in the helping field, and DECREASE clinician burnout. We foster Healing, Self-Care, Community-Care, and Co-Creation, accessing the elemental powers of nature and the soul. Using the Water element, we aim to provide space within the ocean’s realm that fosters waves of change within and beyond the self.  Through the process of Recovery, Revival and Renewal, we aim to dive into spaces of transcendental growth and perspective. Our mission is to provide and SUPPORT Ocean/Surf therapy programs with our partnerships and sponsorships to underserved communities.

 We believe in the power of compassion towards self, others and our Earth. We believe in the need to embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion in every aspect of our organization from program development through the healing process on individual, systemic, universal, and conceptual levels.

This intention allows our process of healing to be sustainable and ever-creative, allowing water drops to grow into waves of change. Through Surf and Ocean Therapy program development, research and design, implementation, and management, we focus on integrating Best Practices and providing eco-related interventions in the community space. Our experiential training and community programs equip our passionate team of professional volunteers to help support within and beyond the self, agency and community.
