Among the 134 places in Mississippi big enough for the comparison to hold — at least a thousand residents, and a resident population that matches who is registered there — Bay St. Louis ranks 94th by providers per resident.

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

Of the 216 places in Mississippi with at least one registered provider, Bay St. Louis ranks 62nd by count.

By licence type the breakdown is counselor (7), mental health counselor (7), social worker (5), professional counselor (2), with 1 further type making up the remainder.

5 distinct licence types are registered here. The letters after a provider's name describe their training route rather than a ranking, and several of them do substantially overlapping work.

22 is a small enough number that availability, not choice, will decide how quickly you are seen. Licences are issued at state level, so the practical pool is usually wider than this page shows: 8,383 licensed providers are registered across Mississippi, and many practices now offer appointments by video. The towns listed further down are the next places to look.

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.
