Therapists & Counselors in Irvine, CA

Irvine has 1,367 licensed providers with a registered practice address, across 8 licence types.

Among the 423 places in California big enough for the comparison to hold — at least a thousand residents, and a resident population that matches who is registered there — Irvine ranks 187th by providers per resident.

That puts Irvine close to the middle for California. Expect to contact several providers rather than one, and to find that availability rather than choice is the binding constraint.

Of the 939 places in California with at least one registered provider, Irvine ranks 31st by count.

By licence type the breakdown is behavior analyst (401), marriage & family therapist (369), clinical social worker (145), clinical psychologist (140), with 4 further types making up the remainder.

The largest single group, behavior analyst, accounts for 31% 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.

Registered addresses are spread across 11 ZIP codes. The map above sizes each ZIP by how many providers are registered there — clustering usually follows medical districts and commercial corridors rather than population.

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.
