Therapists & Counselors in Alachua, FL

22 licensed providers are registered in Alachua — about 20.7 for every 10,000 residents.

Among the 304 places in Florida big enough for the comparison to hold — at least a thousand residents, and a resident population that matches who is registered there — Alachua ranks 201st by providers per resident.

That puts Alachua close to the middle for Florida. Expect to contact several providers rather than one, and to find that availability rather than choice is the binding constraint.

Of the 551 places in Florida with at least one registered provider, Alachua ranks 253rd by count.

By licence type the breakdown is clinical social worker (7), mental health counselor (4), counselor (3), marriage & family therapist (2), with 6 further types making up the remainder.

No single licence type dominates here — clinical social worker and mental health counselor are within reach of each other. For most common reasons to seek therapy, the distinction between those licences matters less than availability and cost.

22 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: 76,618 licensed providers are registered across Florida, 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.
