Therapists & Counselors in Golden, CO

There are 177 licensed providers registered in Golden. The two most common licence types are mental health counselor (42) and professional counselor (40).

With a population of 20,390, that works out to 86.8 providers per 10,000 residents. Density is a rough measure: providers register a practice address, which may be a clinic serving a much wider area than the city itself.

A figure well above the median usually means more choice and shorter waits than most of Colorado — 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 271 places in Colorado with at least one registered provider, Golden ranks 26th by count.

By licence type the breakdown is mental health counselor (42), professional counselor (40), clinical social worker (32), counselor (16), with 4 further types making up the remainder.

8 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.

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.
