Chrysalis Counseling & Managing Mischief

Chrysalis Counseling and Managing Mischief operate as a joint practice, which means two independent counseling practices intentionally working together in a shared space. While each practice remains its own business behind the scenes, they collaborate closely in day-to-day care.

For clients, this feels like one connected, coordinated team. Communication is smooth, care is consistent, and services are designed to be seamless — all with the shared goal of providing high-quality, compassionate support in one welcoming place.
