Chrysalis is a private, small therapeutic boarding school for girls between the ages of 13 and 18 years old. It is located in Eureka, Montana. Chrysalis was created in 1998 and now is a full member of the National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs (NATSAP).

The Chrysalis program is largely based on peer accountability, outdoor adventure therapy, and group therapy sessions they call "circles." The self-reported length of the program is between 18 and 24 months.[1]
