Therapists & Counselors in Hays, KS

Hays has 165 licensed providers with a registered practice address, across 10 licence types.

Among the 172 places in Kansas big enough for the comparison to hold — at least a thousand residents, and a resident population that matches who is registered there — Hays ranks 12th by providers per resident.

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.

Hays is the 19th largest concentration in Kansas by number of providers, accounting for 1.2% of the state total.

The largest single group is social worker, at 43 providers or 26% of the total. Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training and scope, so the mix here partly reflects how Kansas 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.

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.
