7 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.

There is no per-resident figure on this page because Santa Ynez is a census designated place rather than an incorporated town — a community the Census Bureau names and draws boundaries for, but does not publish a population estimate for. The provider count is unaffected; only the ratio is missing.

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.
