Clinical Social Work Practice – Chrysalis Therapy
Chrysalis Therapy is a mental health practice with offices in Worcester, Massachusetts (01613) and New York City (10108). The practice is led by Zaza Sakhat, LICSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and SEP (Somatic Experiencing Practitioner), who holds licensure in both Massachusetts and New York.
Services include individual, family, and group therapy for children, adolescents, and families. Clinical approaches described on the page include Play and Expressive Art Therapies, Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral Therapies (skills-based components), and Somatic Experiencing. These methods are applied within a strength-based, solution-focused framework that informs the overall therapeutic perspective across all service formats and client populations. The integration of somatic, expressive, and cognitive approaches reflects a multi-modal orientation suited to the breadth of ages and presenting concerns the practice addresses.
Specialty areas of focus include anxiety, bullying, and concerns specific to girlhood and adolescent development. The practice also addresses issues affecting adolescent females that include self-harming behaviors, eating disorders, and other identified concerns in that population. Sakhat’s clinical work is described as collaborative, with direct engagement of parents, schools, and other collateral supports who play meaningful roles in each child’s broader daily environment. This multi-system approach positions therapeutic work as extending beyond the individual session to address functioning across home, school, and social contexts simultaneously.
Group therapy is offered alongside individual and family service formats, providing an additional clinical option for clients whose needs and goals are well-suited to a shared therapeutic context. Dual-state licensure allows Sakhat to serve clients across both Massachusetts and New York through the practice’s two office locations. Rates and insurance information are referenced in the site’s navigation but are not detailed on the main homepage.
