Who we are
Therapy Abroad consists of a small staff of dedicated professionals who love what they do and want to share their knowledge, skills, and experiences with students and other professionals. Each and every one of our programs is designed to create a completely unique learning environment that combines international travel, study abroad, hands-on experiences, professional development, and cultural exchange in a fun and safe environment. Our diverse program team is comprised of professionals from a variety of clinical and academic settings. In addition to our full-time staff, we also have professors and clinicians from around the world who take time out of their busy schedules to lead our programs and mentor our students.
Our mission as a team is to help you gain hands-on experience outside of the classroom. Our team has a common goal to inspire more students and professionals to take that first step toward volunteering, service-learning or completing a practicum experience abroad. Whatever your personal goal is -a more competitive graduate school application, advanced language skills for the workplace, developing cultural competencies, gaining observation hours, or to simply gain unique professional insight that comes from working in a foreign location -we hope you will join us.
