Therapists & Counselors in Nome, AK

Nome has 92 licensed providers with a registered practice address, across 9 licence types.

That is roughly 7.3 providers per square mile of land area.

For a rural service town this is the pattern you want to see. It also means the list below is probably the list for a wide area rather than for Nome alone, so the practical question is less whether there is anyone here than how far you are willing to drive and whether the practice you want takes appointments by video.

Of the 116 places in Alaska with at least one registered provider, Nome ranks 15th by count.

By licence type the breakdown is addiction (substance use disorder) counselor (29), counselor (21), clinical social worker (15), mental health counselor (13), with 5 further types making up the remainder.

The largest single group, addiction (substance use disorder) counselor, accounts for 32% of licensed providers registered here, so no one licence defines what is available. Training route and areas of focus vary more within a licence type than between them.

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.
