Therapists & Counselors in Laurel, MS

96 licensed providers are registered in Laurel — about 54.4 for every 10,000 residents.

With a population of 17,662, that works out to 54.4 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 Mississippi — 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 216 places in Mississippi with at least one registered provider, Laurel ranks 22nd by count.

By licence type the breakdown is counselor (44), mental health counselor (18), social worker (14), professional counselor (10), with 5 further types making up the remainder.

9 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.

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.
