Therapists & Counselors in Dubuque, IA

There are 257 licensed providers registered in Dubuque. The two most common licence types are mental health counselor (84) and clinical social worker (42).

With a population of 59,148, that works out to 43.5 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 Iowa — 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 360 places in Iowa with at least one registered provider, Dubuque ranks 9th by count.

By licence type the breakdown is mental health counselor (84), clinical social worker (42), social worker (35), addiction (substance use disorder) counselor (23), with 6 further types making up the remainder.

The largest single group, mental health counselor, accounts for 34% 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.
