Therapists & Counselors in San Rafael, CA

There are 1,451 licensed providers registered in San Rafael. The two most common licence types are marriage & family therapist (375) and mental health counselor (327).

A figure well above the median usually means more choice and shorter waits than most of California — though supply is not the same as availability. Plenty of providers in a well-served area are full, out of network, or private-pay only.

Of the 939 places in California with at least one registered provider, San Rafael ranks 35th by count.

By licence type the breakdown is marriage & family therapist (375), mental health counselor (327), addiction (substance use disorder) counselor (201), counselor (134), with 6 further types making up the remainder.

10 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.

Registered addresses are spread across 4 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.
