The Monarch Program
Music and Mental health
The monarch butterfly symbolizes endurance, migration, resilience and navigating difficult journeys.
Monarchs travel thousands of miles despite fragility. That metaphor aligns with learning that vulnerability and strength coexist.
Our Services
Chrysalis offers both individual and group music therapy sessions, with every treatment plan tailored to the unique goals, strengths, and preferences of each client. We believe music creates opportunities for connection, growth, healing, and improved quality of life at every stage of life.
Mental Health
We support adolescents, adults, and older adults experiencing mental health challenges. Music therapy can help individuals develop healthy coping skills, improve emotional regulation, reduce stress and anxiety, increase self-awareness, strengthen communication, and build confidence in a safe, supportive environment.
Outpatient Programs
We collaborate with outpatient mental health and behavioral health programs to complement existing treatment plans. Sessions may focus on emotional expression, social connection, stress management, relapse prevention, coping strategies, and overall wellness.
Individuals in the Community
We provide individualized music therapy for people seeking support outside of clinical settings. Whether the goal is emotional wellness, personal growth, social connection, cognitive support, or improved quality of life, sessions are designed to meet each person's unique needs.
Inpatient & Residential Treatment Programs
Within residential and inpatient settings, music therapy provides opportunities for emotional processing, self-expression, skill development, group cohesion, and healthy coping while supporting each individual's treatment goals.

The Blue Morpho Program
Seniors, Aging Adults, Memory Care
The blue morpho butterfly symbolizes beauty across the life span, reflection, illumination, presence, and depth
Blue morphos appear differently depending on light and angle. That can symbolize how identity and memory remain present even when expression changes.
