Therapists & Counselors in Joplin, MO

Joplin has 378 licensed providers with a registered practice address, across 10 licence types.

With a population of 53,930, that works out to 70.1 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 Missouri — 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 489 places in Missouri with at least one registered provider, Joplin ranks 9th by count.

By licence type the breakdown is professional counselor (111), clinical social worker (93), psychiatrist (41), social worker (32), with 6 further types making up the remainder.

10 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.
