Therapists & Counselors in Melrose, MA

There are 106 licensed providers registered in Melrose. The two most common licence types are clinical social worker (47) and mental health counselor (18).

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 — Melrose ranks 48th by providers per resident.

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.

Melrose is the 97th largest concentration in Massachusetts by number of providers, accounting for 0.2% of the state total.

The largest single group is clinical social worker, at 47 providers or 44% 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.

10 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.

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.
