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.

Fort Dodge is the 22nd largest concentration in Iowa by number of providers, accounting for 1.1% of the state total.

The largest single group is mental health counselor, at 33 providers or 25% of the total. Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training and scope, so the mix here partly reflects how Iowa licenses its providers.

The largest single group, mental health counselor, accounts for 25% 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.

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.
