Invest in Your Confidence

Our comprehensive Wavering Waters program is designed to guide you from anxiety to confidence through a structured, therapist-led experience on and around the water.

Each experience is a single-session, exposure-based intervention focused on helping you safely build confidence in real time. While many participants benefit from one session, others may choose to continue with additional experiences or ongoing therapy to further support their progress.

This is more than an outing. It’s a guided, real-world exposure experience designed to help you feel safer, more in control, and empowered.

Because this experience involves active, real-world exposure, prior experience with therapy, particularly exposure-based approaches such as ERP, is recommended, but not required. If you’re unsure whether this experience is the right fit for you, we’re happy to help guide you.

Individual therapy sessions are available separately for those who would like additional support before or after participating.

On-water portions of this experience are conducted in collaboration with licensed and insured boat captains.

  • Group Experience

What Makes Wavering Waters Different

3

Our program isn’t just talk — it’s a step-by-step, hands-on journey designed to help you feel confident around open water. Each phase builds on the last, giving you the tools and experience to face your fears safely:

  • Harbor Phase – Get comfortable with the dock and surrounding water.

  • Dockside Phase – Step onto a stationary boat and begin gentle exposure.

  • Calm Waters Phase – Take short, supported rides on the water.

  • At Wavering Waters, safety is our top priority.

    This program is designed and led by a licensed therapist using evidence-based Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help individuals safely overcome fear of water.

    All experiences are:

    • Gradual and structured

    • Conducted in controlled environments

    • Supported by trained professionals

    Water-based sessions are conducted in collaboration with licensed and insured boat captains who are responsible for all vessel operations and safety procedures.

    Important Distinctions

    Wavering Waters is a therapeutic program. It is not:

    • Swim instruction

    • A boating service

    • An emergency or rescue service

    Our role is to provide mental health treatment and support, helping participants build confidence safely and effectively.

  • Due to limited group sizes and advance scheduling, all program fees are non-refundable.

    If you are unable to attend your scheduled experience:

    • You may reschedule one time with at least 48–72 hours’ notice, based on availability

    • Late cancellations or no-shows may result in forfeiting the session

    In the event of weather, safety concerns, or provider cancellation, your session will be rescheduled or credited toward a future date.

  • This experience is a private-pay service. Insurance is not accepted for group experiences.

    If you are interested in using insurance, individual therapy sessions may be available separately depending on your coverage.
