[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How long are the sessions?” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n
Sessions are 90 minutes in length and are organized as follows:<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Do you need ocean or surf experience?” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]No, you don\u2019t need any surf experience and any level of ocean experience is welcome. We also incorporate paddle boards into our program on days when the ocean is not optimal. [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Are your surf safety instructors trained in CPR and water safety?” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]Yes. All our surf instructors are certified and have extensive water experience with a history of life-guarding or surfing as well as being CPR certified.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What do you do if the ocean is rough or not optimal?” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]We incorporate paddle-boards into our program as we offer ocean therapy as well. There are many therapeutic benefits from experiencing being in, around, and on the ocean. Paddle-boarding is another tool in our toolbox to utilize ocean therapy. <\/p>\n
We also engage in on-land instruction doing ocean conservation projects that include beach cleanup and we incorporate this into a therapeutic activity that relates to recovery or mental health.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What does a client bring to the session?” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]Clients will need to wear a swimsuit or water wear, sandals or water shoes, a hat (if needed), and apply sunscreen prior to the session.

However, for individuals, we can provide a super-bill to submit to insurance as this is considered group therapy. <\/p>\n
For treatment centers that may choose to submit sessions from reimbursement, we will pass on information from ISTO to provide tips to increase the likelihood of coverage. Agencies are getting insurance to reimburse. <\/p>\n
Please notify us ahead of time so we can record appropriate clinical notes. Also, the fee we charge includes clinical notes from the mental health professional.
