Therapists & Counselors in Tampa, FL

There are 4,354 licensed providers registered in Tampa. The two most common licence types are mental health counselor (1,004) and clinical social worker (908).

With a population of 413,554, that works out to 105.3 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.

Density is the closest public proxy for how hard it will be to get an appointment, but it is only a proxy. It counts everyone with a registered address here, including people who have retired, moved or stopped taking new clients — nothing forces those records to be updated. Read it as an encouraging upper bound rather than a promise.

Tampa is the 2nd largest concentration in Florida by number of providers, accounting for 5.5% of the state total.

The largest single group is mental health counselor, at 1,004 providers or 23% of the total. Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training and scope, so the mix here partly reflects how Florida licenses its providers.

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 28 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.

These counts come from the federal NPI registry. A provider appears here if they hold an active NPI with a practice address in this area — it does not mean they are currently accepting new clients, and the registry does not record insurance, fees or availability.
