Therapists & Counselors in Hawaii
Psychologists, clinical social workers, counselors, marriage and family therapists and psychiatrists registered with a practice address in this area.
Hawaii has 6,553 licensed providers with a registered practice address, across 12 licence types.
Hawaii ranks 44th of 56 states and territories by the number of registered providers in this field.
By licence type the breakdown is clinical social worker (1,082), mental health counselor (1,069), behavior analyst (954), marriage & family therapist (652), with 8 further types making up the remainder.
12 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.
The three largest concentrations are Urban Honolulu (2,935), Hilo (634), Kailua (349).
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.
How Hawaii got here
new registrations per yearEach registration carries the year it was issued, so the registry doubles as a record of when this workforce grew in Hawaii. A rising line means the constraint is easing; a flat one means today's shortage is likely to be next year's too.
Who they are
self-reported to CMS73.2% of registered licensed providers in Hawaii are women. Nationally the figure varies a great deal by licence type — occupational therapy at one end, psychiatry at the other. See the national breakdown.
You can filter any city list on this site by gender. We show it because it is one of the most common things people search for and, for some kinds of work, a real need — but it is only ever a filter here, never a ranking.
