Therapists & Counselors in Needham, MA

Needham has 588 licensed providers with a registered practice address, across 9 licence types.

That is roughly 47.8 providers per square mile of land area.

Of the 229 places in Massachusetts with at least one registered provider, Needham ranks 38th by count.

By licence type the breakdown is clinical social worker (205), mental health counselor (107), counselor (60), social worker (58), with 5 further types making up the remainder.

The largest single group, clinical social worker, accounts for 37% 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 Needham 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.

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.
