Therapists & Counselors in Chelsea, MA

There are 664 licensed providers registered in Chelsea. The two most common licence types are counselor (217) and mental health counselor (138).

That is roughly 299.2 providers per square mile of land area.

What that means in practice: the licence-type breakdown below still describes real people with real registrations, but it describes one employer's staff, so the variety you see is that organisation's hiring rather than a local market. If you are looking for an independent practice in Chelsea, the nearby places listed at the foot of this page are a better starting point than the count at the top.

Chelsea is the 36th largest concentration in Massachusetts by number of providers, accounting for 0.8% of the state total.

The largest single group is counselor, at 217 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 Massachusetts licenses its providers.

No single licence type dominates here — counselor and mental health counselor are within reach of each other. For most common reasons to seek therapy, the distinction between those licences matters less than availability and cost.

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.
