Therapists & Counselors in Lucedale, MS

20 licensed providers are registered in Lucedale — about 61.9 for every 10,000 residents.

That is roughly 3.1 providers per square mile of land area, or 61.9 per 10,000 residents.

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, Lucedale ranks 42nd by count.

By licence type the breakdown is mental health counselor (8), social worker (3), clinical social worker (3), counselor (2), with 4 further types making up the remainder.

The largest single group, mental health counselor, accounts for 40% 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.

20 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.
