Practically, a figure this far below the median means planning for a longer search. Widening the area you are willing to travel to, asking about video sessions anywhere in New Jersey, and looking at community clinics as well as private practice all tend to matter more here than they would in a large city.

Of the 518 places in New Jersey with at least one registered provider, Garfield ranks 262nd by count.

By licence type the breakdown is clinical social worker (11), mental health counselor (3), behavior analyst (3), counselor (2), with 2 further types making up the remainder.

The mix here is unusually concentrated: clinical social worker outnumber the next largest group by more than three to one. Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training, so a lopsided mix usually says more about how New Jersey licenses its providers than about what is available to you.

22 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: 41,592 licensed providers are registered across New Jersey, 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.
