Therapists & Counselors in Des Plaines, IL

Des Plaines has 205 licensed providers with a registered practice address, across 10 licence types.

With a population of 58,772, that works out to 34.9 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 Illinois — 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 756 places in Illinois with at least one registered provider, Des Plaines ranks 50th by count.

By licence type the breakdown is clinical social worker (59), professional counselor (38), behavior analyst (25), mental health counselor (19), with 6 further types making up the remainder.

The largest single group, clinical social worker, accounts for 31% of licensed providers registered here, so no one licence defines what is available. Training route and areas of focus vary more within a licence type than between them.

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.
