Therapists & Counselors in Hattiesburg, MS

517 licensed providers are registered in Hattiesburg — about 105.9 for every 10,000 residents.

With a population of 48,802, that works out to 105.9 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.

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.

Hattiesburg is the 4th largest concentration in Mississippi by number of providers, accounting for 5.6% of the state total.

The largest single group is counselor, at 105 providers or 20% of the total. Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training and scope, so the mix here partly reflects how Mississippi licenses its providers.

No single licence type dominates here — counselor and clinical social worker are within reach of each other. For most common reasons to seek therapy, the distinction between those licences matters less than availability and cost.

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.
