Our counselors are caring, trained professionals with experience in helping folks from all walks of life. Ministers, priests, and rabbis are valuable in today's culture for providing advice and guidance for everyday problems. But sometimes clergy lack resources or training to address more serious problems. Traditional counseling can be very beneficial as well, but a strict behavioral approach often ignores the role that meaning and spirituality have in healing. Chrysalis offers a different option to those seeking help in the search for wholeness of mind, body, and spirit. Chrysalis is a non-profit, faith-based counseling and consultation center with over 30 years of caring for individuals, couples, and families throughout the Piedmont. We are a ministry of the Western North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church in cooperation with churches and organization of other denominations who are committed to providing healing and growth for emotional and spiritual growth.

One quick last question. Who was seeking counseling today?
Do you know the reason they are not accepting clients?
Qualifying for assistance from North Carolina's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to North Carolina's program.
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
