136th of 269 places in AR
population 3,387
There are 5 licensed providers registered in Waldron. The two most common licence types are mental health counselor (2) and counselor (1).
With a population of 3,387, that works out to 14.8 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.
Density is the closest public proxy for how hard it will be to get an appointment, but it is only a proxy. It counts everyone with a registered address here, including people who have retired, moved or stopped taking new clients — nothing forces those records to be updated. Read it as a cautionary upper bound rather than a promise.
Waldron is the 136th largest concentration in Arkansas by number of providers, accounting for under 0.1% of the state total.
The largest single group is mental health counselor, at 2 providers or 40% of the total. Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training and scope, so the mix here partly reflects how Arkansas licenses its providers.
No single licence type dominates here — mental health counselor and 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.
With only 5 providers registered locally, most people here will be looking beyond the town. Licences are issued at state level, so a provider anywhere in Arkansas can generally see you by video — which makes the statewide figure the more useful one: 11,284 licensed providers are registered across Arkansas. Asking specifically whether a practice takes remote appointments is usually the fastest way to widen the search.
These counts come from the federal NPI registry. A provider appears here if they hold an active NPI with a practice address in this area — it does not mean they are currently accepting new clients, and the registry does not record insurance, fees or availability.
