Therapists & Counselors in Pontiac, MI

Pontiac has 357 licensed providers with a registered practice address, across 10 licence types.

With a population of 62,077, that works out to 57.5 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.

That puts Pontiac close to the middle for Michigan. Expect to contact several providers rather than one, and to find that availability rather than choice is the binding constraint.

Of the 567 places in Michigan with at least one registered provider, Pontiac ranks 41st by count.

By licence type the breakdown is clinical social worker (129), social worker (56), addiction (substance use disorder) counselor (34), mental health counselor (30), with 6 further types making up the remainder.

The largest single group, clinical social worker, accounts for 38% 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.
