18.5 per 10,000 in Ball — well below the median of 45.5 across 207 places in Louisiana.

There are 7 licensed providers registered in Ball. The two most common licence types are clinical social worker (3) and mental health counselor (1).

With a population of 3,793, that works out to 18.5 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.

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 a cautionary upper bound rather than a promise.

Ball is the 144th largest concentration in Louisiana by number of providers, accounting for under 0.1% of the state total.

The largest single group is clinical social worker, at 3 providers or 43% of the total. Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training and scope, so the mix here partly reflects how Louisiana licenses its providers.

5 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.

7 is a small enough number that availability, not choice, will decide how quickly you are seen. Licences are issued at state level, so the practical pool is usually wider than this page shows: 22,318 licensed providers are registered across Louisiana, and many practices now offer appointments by video. The towns listed further down are the next places to look.

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.
