Therapists & Counselors in St. Petersburg, FL

There are 1,186 licensed providers registered in St. Petersburg. The two most common licence types are mental health counselor (438) and clinical social worker (254).

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 — St. Petersburg ranks 118th by providers per resident.

That puts St. Petersburg 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, St. Petersburg ranks 12th by count.

By licence type the breakdown is mental health counselor (438), clinical social worker (254), behavior analyst (93), social worker (86), 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 17 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.
