About this facility
Chrysalis Center in Wilmington, North Carolina, is an outpatient treatment center specializing in eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. They offer outpatient and intensive outpatient program (IOP), for those needing more support than outpatient therapy, with programs focused on both eating disorders and trauma recovery. Clients receive individualized care in a safe, welcoming environment.
Their treatment approach combines evidence-based therapies like DBT, ACT, and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) with holistic practices such as mindful eating and nutrition education. Clients work closely with therapists and dietitians to address underlying emotional and psychological factors, building confidence and skills to heal and thrive in recovery.
Chrysalis Center also offers specialized programs such as Exposure Meal Groups and Bariatric Support Groups, which are designed to help clients confront their food-related fears and build positive experiences with eating. These groups, combined with family therapy and aftercare planning, provide crucial support as clients continue their recovery journey, offering the guidance and community needed to create lasting change.
