Therapists & Counselors in Bethesda, MD

There are 1,340 licensed providers registered in Bethesda. The two most common licence types are clinical social worker (440) and psychiatrist (180).

That is roughly 101 providers per square mile of land area.

Bethesda is the 3rd largest concentration in Maryland by number of providers, accounting for 3.7% of the state total.

The largest single group is clinical social worker, at 440 providers or 33% of the total. Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training and scope, so the mix here partly reflects how Maryland licenses its providers.

The largest single group, clinical social worker, accounts for 35% 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.

There is no per-resident figure on this page because Bethesda is a census designated place rather than an incorporated town — a community the Census Bureau names and draws boundaries for, but does not publish a population estimate for. The provider count is unaffected; only the ratio is missing.

Registered addresses are spread across 8 ZIP codes. The map above sizes each ZIP by how many providers are registered there — clustering usually follows medical districts and commercial corridors rather than population.

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.
