Therapists & Counselors in Needles, CA

There are 23 licensed providers registered in Needles. The two most common licence types are addiction (substance use disorder) counselor (11) and marriage & family therapist (4).

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 — Needles ranks 217th by providers per resident.

That puts Needles 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, Needles ranks 494th by count.

By licence type the breakdown is addiction (substance use disorder) counselor (11), marriage & family therapist (4), counselor (3), clinical social worker (2), with 3 further types making up the remainder.

7 distinct licence types are registered here. The letters after a provider's name describe their training route rather than a ranking, and several of them do substantially overlapping work.

23 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: 249,747 licensed providers are registered across California, 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.
