How density varies inside New Hampshire
Each bar is the number of places at that level of provider density. A long right tail means a few places carry far more providers per resident than the rest of the state.
New Hampshire has 3,237 licensed therapists with a registered practice address, across 3 licence types.
New Hampshire ranks 40th of 56 states and territories by the number of registered providers in this field.
The largest single group is physical therapist, at 1,673 providers or 52% of the total. Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training and scope, so the mix here partly reflects how New Hampshire licenses its providers.
Just over half of the licensed therapists here — 55% — hold the same licence, physical 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.
The three largest concentrations are Manchester (1,375), Nashua (1,015), Concord (934).
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.
How New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire. 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 CMS82.4% of registered licensed therapists in New Hampshire 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.

Places in New Hampshire
93 of 93 have their own page so far1 place has no per-resident figure. Those are office districts inside a larger urban area, rural towns whose practices serve a whole region, or places where most registrations share one employer's address — dividing by the resident population there produces a number that looks precise and describes nothing. The provider counts are unaffected; the test is described in the methodology.
