Therapists & Counselors in Alpena, MI

186 licensed providers are registered in Alpena — about 184.4 for every 10,000 residents.

With a population of 10,088, that works out to 184.4 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.

A figure well above the median usually means more choice and shorter waits than most of Michigan — though supply is not the same as availability. Plenty of providers in a well-served area are full, out of network, or private-pay only.

Of the 567 places in Michigan with at least one registered provider, Alpena ranks 60th by count.

By licence type the breakdown is clinical social worker (67), social worker (47), addiction (substance use disorder) counselor (18), professional counselor (11), 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.

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.
