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 an encouraging upper bound rather than a promise.

The largest single group is marriage & family therapist, at 181 providers or 32% of the total. Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training and scope, so the mix here partly reflects how California licenses its providers.

The largest single group, marriage & family therapist, accounts for 35% 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.
