Therapists & Counselors in Utqiaġvik, AK

Utqiaġvik has 12 licensed providers with a registered practice address, across 5 licence types.

With a population of 4,640, that works out to 25.9 providers per 10,000 residents. Density is a rough measure: providers register a practice address, which may be a clinic serving a much wider area than the city itself.

Practically, a figure this far below the median means planning for a longer search. Widening the area you are willing to travel to, asking about video sessions anywhere in Alaska, and looking at community clinics as well as private practice all tend to matter more here than they would in a large city.

Of the 116 places in Alaska with at least one registered provider, Utqiaġvik ranks 25th by count.

By licence type the breakdown is addiction (substance use disorder) counselor (4), mental health counselor (3), counselor (2), social worker (2), with 1 further type making up the remainder.

The largest single group, addiction (substance use disorder) counselor, accounts for 33% 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.

12 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: 6,968 licensed providers are registered across Alaska, 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.
