Therapists & Counselors in Springfield, MA

3,668 licensed providers are registered in Springfield — about 237.1 for every 10,000 residents.

With a population of 154,702, that works out to 237.1 providers per 10,000 residents. Density is a rough measure: providers register a practice address, which may be a clinic serving a much wider area than the city itself.

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 an encouraging upper bound rather than a promise.

Springfield is the 3rd largest concentration in Massachusetts by number of providers, accounting for 4.7% of the state total.

The largest single group is counselor, at 1,395 providers or 38% 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.

Registered addresses are spread across 17 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.

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.
