Therapists & Counselors in Mississippi State, MS

Mississippi State has 13 licensed providers with a registered practice address, across 5 licence types.

That is roughly 6 providers per square mile of land area.

Of the 216 places in Mississippi with at least one registered provider, Mississippi State ranks 75th by count.

By licence type the breakdown is behavior analyst (5), psychologist (3), clinical psychologist (3), mental health counselor (1), with 1 further type making up the remainder.

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

13 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.

There is no per-resident figure on this page because Mississippi State is a census designated place rather than an incorporated town — a community the Census Bureau names and draws boundaries for, but does not publish a population estimate for. The provider count is unaffected; only the ratio is missing.

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.
