Therapists & Counselors in Lexington, MS

Lexington has 8 licensed providers with a registered practice address, across 4 licence types.

That is roughly 3.3 providers per square mile of land area.

This is good news rather than bad if you live nearby: a concentration like this is what a regional cluster of practices looks like, and people travel to it from across the area. It does mean the list below is worth reading alongside the surrounding towns rather than on its own, since where someone registered an address and where their clients come from are two different things here.

Of the 216 places in Mississippi with at least one registered provider, Lexington ranks 96th by count.

By licence type the breakdown is mental health counselor (3), clinical social worker (3), social worker (1), marriage & family therapist (1), with 0 further types making up the remainder.

The largest single group, mental health counselor, 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.

8 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.
