Therapists & Counselors in Waltham, MA

There are 692 licensed providers registered in Waltham. The two most common licence types are clinical social worker (234) and mental health counselor (150).

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 — Waltham ranks 18th 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.

Waltham is the 20th largest concentration in Massachusetts by number of providers, accounting for 1.2% of the state total.

The largest single group is clinical social worker, at 234 providers or 34% 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.

The largest single group, clinical social worker, accounts for 35% 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.

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.
