Chrysalis Health

What Chrysalis Health does

Chrysalis Health is a private, for-profit behavioral healthcare organization headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, founded in 1995 and rebranded from its predecessor non-profit The Chrysalis Center in 2006 when it transitioned to for-profit status to provide administrative support for smaller community mental health agencies. The company delivers outpatient mental health services to children, adolescents, adults, and families across 23 office locations in Florida (17), Ohio (2), and Texas (4), supplemented by an on-site delivery model in which therapists travel to clients' homes and schools and a secure telehealth video platform for remote sessions.

Its core service portfolio comprises mental health counseling (individual, family, home/school-based), full-spectrum psychiatric services (evaluation, treatment, and medication management), and targeted case management that connects clients with medical, social, educational, housing, insurance, employment, and financial services. Bilingual English/Spanish delivery is supported. The company employs nearly 1,000 clinical and administrative team members including licensed therapists, counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and case managers.

The business model is insurance-reimbursement-driven, with the company operating as an in-network provider for major commercial plans (Aetna, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, United Health Care, Humana, AvMed, Bright Health, Oscar Health, VA Community Care Network) and a broad panel of Florida Medicaid plans (Sunshine Health, Molina, Simply Health, Florida Medicaid, and others). Self-pay options are available on a sliding-scale basis. Referral channels include Florida Department of Children & Families, Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, county school districts (Broward, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach), ChildNet, Broward Sheriff's Office, and United Way. Council on Accreditation (COA) status, held continuously since 2004, underpins eligibility for these public-sector and managed-care contracts. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries.
