Therapists & Counselors in Lawrence, MA

Lawrence has 1,061 licensed providers with a registered practice address, across 9 licence types.

Among the 53 places in Massachusetts big enough for the comparison to hold — at least a thousand residents, and a resident population that matches who is registered there — Lawrence ranks 25th by providers per resident.

That puts Lawrence close to the middle for Massachusetts. Expect to contact several providers rather than one, and to find that availability rather than choice is the binding constraint.

Of the 229 places in Massachusetts with at least one registered provider, Lawrence ranks 15th by count.

By licence type the breakdown is mental health counselor (436), counselor (256), clinical social worker (161), social worker (80), with 5 further types making up the remainder.

9 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.

Registered addresses are spread across 7 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.

One caveat on reading these numbers: the registry records where a provider registered an address, not where they see clients day to day, and addresses are not always kept current. It also says nothing about whether someone is taking new clients.
