Therapists & Counselors in Prentiss, MS

Prentiss has 16 licensed providers with a registered practice address, across 4 licence types.

With a population of 896, that works out to 178.6 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.

Prentiss is the 76th largest concentration in Mississippi by number of providers, accounting for 0.2% of the state total.

The largest single group is counselor, at 8 providers or 50% 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 professional counselor are within reach of each other. For most common reasons to seek therapy, the distinction between those licences matters less than availability and cost.

16 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.

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.
