35.6 per 10,000 in New Buffalo — well above the median of 16.1 across 418 places in Michigan.

New Buffalo has 6 licensed therapists with a registered practice address, across 2 licence types.

With a population of 1,685, that works out to 35.6 providers per 10,000 residents. Density is a rough measure: providers register a practice address, which may be a clinic serving a much wider area than the city itself.

A figure well above the median usually means more choice and shorter waits than most of Michigan — though supply is not the same as availability. Plenty of providers in a well-served area are full, out of network, or private-pay only.

Of the 567 places in Michigan with at least one registered provider, New Buffalo ranks 320th by count.

Just over half of the licensed therapists here — 83% — hold the same licence, occupational therapist. Where one type dominates like this, the practical question is less which letters someone has than whether they work with what you are bringing to them.

6 is a small enough number that availability, not choice, will decide how quickly you are seen. Licences are issued at state level, so the practical pool is usually wider than this page shows: 16,161 licensed therapists are registered across Michigan, and many practices now offer appointments by video. The towns listed further down are the next places to look.

One caveat on reading these numbers: the registry records where a provider registered an address, not where they see clients day to day, and addresses are not always kept current. It also says nothing about whether someone is taking new clients.
