6 registered licensed therapists

213th of 480 places in WI
population 1,119
Amherst has 6 licensed therapists with a registered practice address, across 2 licence types.
That is roughly 4.4 providers per square mile of land area, or 53.6 per 10,000 residents.
A figure well above the median usually means more choice and shorter waits than most of Wisconsin — 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 480 places in Wisconsin with at least one registered provider, Amherst ranks 213th by count.
Just over half of the licensed therapists here — 83% — 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.
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: 11,124 licensed therapists are registered across Wisconsin, 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.
