Therapists & Counselors in Medford, MA

There are 396 licensed providers registered in Medford. The two most common licence types are clinical social worker (120) and mental health counselor (113).

That is roughly 48.9 providers per square mile of land area, or 66.2 per 10,000 residents.

That puts Medford 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, Medford ranks 54th by count.

By licence type the breakdown is clinical social worker (120), mental health counselor (113), counselor (42), social worker (39), with 6 further types making up the remainder.

The largest single group, clinical social worker, accounts for 32% 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.

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.
