Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training, so a lopsided mix usually says more about how Hawaii licenses its providers than about what is available to you.
Providers are registered in 87 distinct places across Hawaii. The map shows the ZIP codes with the highest counts.
These counts come from the federal NPI registry. A provider appears here if they hold an active NPI with a practice address in this area — it does not mean they are currently accepting new clients, and the registry does not record insurance, fees or availability.
How Hawaii got here
new registrations per yearEach registration carries the year it was issued, so the registry doubles as a record of when this workforce grew in Hawaii. A rising line means the constraint is easing; a flat one means today's shortage is likely to be next year's too.
Who they are
self-reported to CMS68.1% of registered licensed therapists in Hawaii are women. Nationally the figure varies a great deal by licence type — occupational therapy at one end, psychiatry at the other. See the national breakdown.
You can filter any city list on this site by gender. We show it because it is one of the most common things people search for and, for some kinds of work, a real need — but it is only ever a filter here, never a ranking.
