Balance. Connection. Care.
At Chrysalis Therapy & Healing, we believe that true transformation begins with connection. Just as a chrysalis protects and nurtures growth until a butterfly is ready to emerge, we provide a safe, supportive space where individuals, families, and professionals can access healing services, grow, and thrive.
Our practice is built on the understanding that healing comes in many forms: through meaningful relationships, compassionate therapy, and the powerful bond we share with animals. Our equine-assisted therapy sessions in partnership with Simple Changes Therapuatuic Riding Center, offer unique support for the challenges of the human-animal bond, alongside traditional psychotherapy aimed at enhancing mental wellness. Our work is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and care.
Founded on the values of balance, resilience, and renewal, Chrysalis Therapy & Healing is here to guide you through life’s transitions with compassion.
We are honored to support patients and families of the Animal Behavior Wellness Clinic. Through both virtual and in-person sessions, we provide a safe space for those navigating the challenges of caring for animals with difficult behaviors. This includes guidance during times when families may be considering very difficult decisions about their animal’s well-being, as well as support in managing the stress and emotions that come with these situations.
With a foundation in animal welfare, our work in animal rescue, and our experience in equine therapy, we understand how powerful the human-animal bond is. These connections bring deep love and meaning, and they can also make decision-making incredibly hard. We are here to walk alongside you with compassion, helping you honor that bond while finding resilience and peace.
At Chrysalis Therapy & Healing, our equine-assisted psychotherapy (EAP) sessions are all ground-based—there is no riding, and no prior horse experience is needed. These sessions are conducted in partnership with Simple Changes Therapeutic Riding Center in Lorton, VA, providing a safe and supportive environment for clients and horses to interact.
Horses are naturally sensitive, present, and responsive to human emotions, making them powerful partners in therapy. Through guided activities and interactions on the ground, clients gain insight into their own feelings, practice emotional regulation, build confidence, and develop stronger communication and relationship skills.
EAP works because it engages the whole body and mind, allowing clients to experience real-time feedback, connection, and trust in a way that traditional talk therapy alone cannot provide. By working alongside these intuitive animals, individuals can explore challenges, practice coping strategies, and experience profound growth and healing.
At Chrysalis Therapy & Healing, connection is at the heart of everything we do. Whether you’re ready to schedule a session for our equine assisted therapy, have questions about our healing services, or simply want to explore how horse therapy can support your mental wellness journey, we’re here to listen. Reach out today — your path to healing begins with a conversation.
