We use a multidisciplinary approach to ensure seamless, coordinated treatment. Our licensed therapists,
psychiatric providers, and registered dietitians work under one roof and meet regularly to collaborate on your
care. This integrated model, widely recognized as the gold standard for eating disorder treatment,
ensures continuity and communication between all members of your treatment team—including any
external providers you work with.

We are committed to delivering effective, ethical care using treatments backed by research. Our clinicians
rely on evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior
Therapy (DBT), and Family-Based Treatment (FBT) for adolescents. These therapies have consistently
shown the greatest effectiveness in treating eating disorders and related mental health conditions.

At Chrysalis, we don’t just assume our care is high quality—we measure it. We utilize Blueprint,
a Measurement-Based Care platform, to track your progress using clinical assessments, outcome measures,
and digital tools. This allows our team to personalize your care using real data, supporting transparency and
continuous improvement in your therapeutic outcomes.

Therapists at Chrysalis value growth, feedback, and collaboration. We hold regular team
consultations to ensure we’re meeting our clients’ evolving needs with integrity and clinical excellence.
Our staff includes Certified Eating Disorder Specialists (CEDS) and supervisors who support ongoing
development across our team.

Compassion is the foundation of everything we do. We believe that healing happens in spaces
where clients feel truly seen and supported. Our use of compassion-focused therapy helps
address core issues like shame, weight stigma, and self-criticism—common in those struggling with
eating disorders and trauma. Research supports that self-compassion interventions lead to reduced
eating disorder symptoms and improved body image (Turk & Waller, 2020; Braun et al., 2021).

We recognize the deep harm caused by stigma and marginalization. Through our Health Equity
Initiative, Chrysalis Center is committed to creating an inclusive, affirming space for all individuals,
including those in the LGBTQIA+ community and those affected by weight bias. With eating disorder
prevalence as high as 12–17% in gender-diverse populations (Coelho et al., 2019), our mission includes
reducing healthcare disparities through staff training, inclusive policies, and community outreach.

“Restoring Hope” isn’t just a part of our motto—it’s part of our method. We approach every client
from a strengths-based perspective, believing in the possibility of full recovery. Hope is often the
catalyst for change, and we work to nurture that belief in every person we serve.

We take a whole-person approach to wellness, offering everything from genetic testing for psychiatric
medications to on-site lab work and FDA-approved metabolic testing with our dietitians. Whether you’re
working on recovery from disordered eating, managing mood disorders, or addressing trauma, we tailor
our care to fit your unique needs and refer responsibly when specialized services are required.
