How density varies inside Wyoming

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.

Distribution across 57 places in Wyoming.

Wyoming has 1,053 licensed therapists with a registered practice address, across 3 licence types.

Wyoming ranks 52nd of 56 states and territories by the number of registered providers in this field.

The largest single group is physical therapist, at 663 providers or 63% of the total. Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training and scope, so the mix here partly reflects how Wyoming licenses its providers.

Just over half of the licensed therapists here — 66% — 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 Cheyenne (751), Casper (639), Laramie (356).

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 Wyoming got here

new registrations per year

Each registration carries the year it was issued, so the registry doubles as a record of when this workforce grew in Wyoming. A rising line means the constraint is easing; a flat one means today's shortage is likely to be next year's too.

New registrations per year. licensed therapists in Wyoming. Annual registrations in 2025 were 22% lower than in 2008. The final bar is faded because 2026 is still in progress. Starts at 2008 on purpose. The NPI system launched in 2006– 2007 and the whole profession registered at once, so those two years are an artefact of the rollout rather than a measure of anything. Including them would make the following year look like a collapse.

Who they are

self-reported to CMS

70.3% of registered licensed therapists in Wyoming 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.

2 places have 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.
