Services Offered

At Chrysalis Counseling Centers, we pride ourselves on offering a wide range of services tailored to meet the needs of our clients. Our services include:

Assessments

Our assessment process begins with a meeting with one of our Clinical Assessors, who will carefully listen to your concerns and design a treatment plan that will best meet your clinical needs. The assessment appointment is completed either at one of our clinical offices or within your home environment, depending on the clinical services that are requested.

Our individual services range from outpatient therapy provided in a clinical setting to in-home services provided within the home or community setting. We provide evidence-based therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and EMDR, among others. Our clinicians work closely with each client to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses their specific concerns and goals.

Our group services provide a supportive and collaborative environment where clients can learn new skills, gain insight, and connect with others who are facing similar challenges.
