Chrysalis Center was established as an outpatient private practice with an eating disorder specialty in June 2003.  Prior to starting the practice, both founding therapists worked closely together at the UNC-Wilmington Counseling Center and were part of the Eating Disorder Treatment Team on campus. Their decision to branch out into private practice was driven by a desire to reach out to the community and be able to provide counseling and eating disorder treatment to a variety of populations and age ranges.
