Therapists & Counselors in Minneapolis, MN

There are 4,832 licensed providers registered in Minneapolis. The two most common licence types are clinical social worker (1,468) and mental health counselor (539).

Among the 310 places in Minnesota big enough for the comparison to hold — at least a thousand residents, and a resident population that matches who is registered there — Minneapolis ranks 17th 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 an encouraging upper bound rather than a promise.

Minneapolis is the 1st largest concentration in Minnesota by number of providers, accounting for 16.5% of the state total.

The largest single group is clinical social worker, at 1,468 providers or 30% of the total. Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training and scope, so the mix here partly reflects how Minnesota licenses its providers.

No single licence type dominates here — clinical social worker 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 52 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.
