This week Chrysalis celebrates our 19th anniversary of service to our community. In that time, we’ve grown from 2 employees to 22 total clinical and administrative employees, plus 2 terrific interns. We’ve expanded our services from offering just outpatient individual therapy to include nutritional counseling, an array of groups, medication management, and two tracks of our intensive outpatient program for eating disorders. We’ve had 4 different locations, starting in a 3 room office of 1000 square feet and landing in 10,000 square feet spanning 4 office suites.

In the past 5 years, we are proud to have completed the process to become and maintain our state license and Joint Commission accreditation. More recently, we navigated a pandemic, an abrupt pivot to telehealth, and an exponential need for mental health services. This year we look forward to welcoming 4 new therapists, 2 additional dietitians, expanding our outpatient group offerings, and adding a trauma-informed track to our IOP.

We’ve undergone many changes, experienced exciting opportunities for growth, worked hard, played hard, learned a lot, and enjoyed wonderful collaborations with so many partners, practices, agencies, and treatment centers in Wilmington and well beyond. Most importantly, we’ve developed therapeutic relationships with thousands of clients and been honored to be a part of so many different recovery journeys. We thank you to all who have been part of supporting us in any way, shape, or form over the past 19 years and look forward to continuing to restore hope and empower change in the coming years.
