Therapists & Counselors in Centre, AL

There are 21 licensed providers registered in Centre. The two most common licence types are psychiatrist (10) and mental health counselor (5).

That is roughly 1.8 providers per square mile of land area, or 53.7 per 10,000 residents.

A figure well above the median usually means more choice and shorter waits than most of Alabama — 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 289 places in Alabama with at least one registered provider, Centre ranks 68th by count.

By licence type the breakdown is psychiatrist (10), mental health counselor (5), professional counselor (2), counselor (1), with 3 further types making up the remainder.

No single licence type dominates here — psychiatrist and mental health counselor are within reach of each other. For most common reasons to seek therapy, the distinction between those licences matters less than availability and cost.

21 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: 10,201 licensed providers are registered across Alabama, 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.
