Do you know the amazing and generous Terri Zelasko, MBA , at Bottled Energy? She has donated hours and talent to help develop our new logo at Chrysalis Community, the 501c3 of Chrysalis Center: Integrated Psychological Health, simply because she believes in our mission of serving the underserved with the voice and skills of psychology.

A donation to Feeding America in your honor, Terri. Paying it forward, as I know you'd want us to. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

At Chrysalis Center, our therapeutic philosophy centers on meeting clients where they are — emotionally, mentally, and situationally — and helping them navigate the path to where they aspire to be.

Therapy is not just about overcoming challenges; it’s about fostering growth, resilience, and meaningful change.

We’re honored to be part of that process.

We are learning and gaining so much as we engage new modalities with these brave women who have undergone so much, and who don't often have access to mental health care and psychosocial support. Thank you to the team for the courage and creativity to play in new spaces!

Dr. Dodd finds the intersection of different domains of research and clinical experience to be the place of greatest creativity for him. He was honored to contribute to a wonderful journal article on the value of a psychoanalytic lens on sport.

These two domains of study and practice often do not intermingle but I believe there is tremendous potentiality in their integration.

At Chrysalis Center, we honor each person’s unique journey.
We believe therapy should be rooted in kindness, respect, and the autonomy of the individual—empowering you to grow, heal, and thrive at your own pace.

Dr. Zane Dodd recently had the wonderful opportunity to speak on a leadership model of versatility and adaptability applied to gymnastics coaches at the USA Gymnastics National Congress in New Orleans.

This talk integrated a model of high standards and high support fueled by an understanding of the science of motivation and trust that is relevant for all forms of leadership, coaching included.
