Pros

My experience working at Chrysalis Health has been rich, empowering, and humbling all at the same time. As an Outpatient Mental Health Therapist at Chrysalis my clientele is vulnerable and often in great need of services. I am empowered by the company to create my own schedule, provide treatment, and be creative but always following ethical rules and treatment plans. I got to choose my preferred area to work in when I applied to the position and all of my clients live within the same area which makes my workday easier to navigate. One of the main things I enjoy is that although I work for Chrysalis, I must operate with accountability and responsibility as if it were running my own business. Because Chrysalis Health bills insurance and Medicaid, they maintain meticulous paperwork and engaged in excellent business practices. It is hard work but the flexibility, income, and opportunity to work with a diverse population is truly rewarding. After working in the public sector for 23 years where too many people enjoy the status quo, I find it refreshing to come to agency where innovation, quality, and accountability is held in high regard. You really get to know a company and their values during a time such as this Covid-19 era. The fact that the company is a social enterprise and not a not-for-profit makes Chrysalis even stronger. Most not-for-profit can't weather storms but a company with vision, compassion, and the interest of the community at the forefront can overcome anything. This is what Chrysalis has taught me during this time. The company is a self-sustaining enterprise for people in the mental health community. During this pandemic my supervisor, supported me daily by guiding me with new remote procedures to continue to provide services to my clients from home. As a Latina single mother of a four year old, I needed to keep my job and not be dependent on unemployment. I have been able to shelter in place with my precious daughter and provide quality services and make income. I continue to receive outstanding training and I have been treated as the professional that I went to school to become. I have been guided, supported, appreciated, and re-directed when needed. I truly appreciate to not have to choose between my health, potentially my life, and my ability to provide for myself and my daughter. For me, it has been a beautiful gift to work for Chrysalis Health. If you take your job as a mental health therapist seriously, this is truly an amazing company to work for.

Cons

If a person is not into paperwork they may find it too much. However the system is designed to give you support to do it effectively and quickly. The faster you learn the paperwork the smoother your experience will be. Some of the papework outside of session may not be compensated but the work environment, hourly rate, bonuses and flexibility makes it worth for me. I appreciate the paperwork because I know that if someone wants to take me to court or say that I did not do a good job my company has my back because they keep great documentation and make sure they have all the correct forms.

Pros

Work from home, Pay is higher than most, but no stipend for mileage and phone

Cons

No Upper Management or Program Support, EXTREMELY HIGH INSURANCE RATES

Pros

*Great experience counseling clients/ various clients seen * Supportive Supervision *Trainings

Cons

*Lots of paperwork/Documents!! (which takes up a lot of time) * System used often lags, close/disconnect/crash * Only paid when seeing client & certain documents *Clients no shows/ or hard to reach clients

Pros

I appreciate the flexibility. It is great for those who have tried the 9am-5pm work environment and did not like it. Being able to make you own schedule is a plus. The opportunity for bonus pay is an awesome incentive to motivate employees. There are opportunities for advancement within the agency which is a great plus. The work environment is stress free, friendly, and very helpful. It is not for granted how assessable staff and supervisors are to assist with any needs work related.

Cons

The insurance/benefits package is concerning as it may not be affordable for most.
