Therapists & Counselors in Lackawanna, NY

There are 60 licensed providers registered in Lackawanna. The two most common licence types are social worker (19) and mental health counselor (16).

With a population of 19,452, that works out to 30.8 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 a cautionary upper bound rather than a promise.

Lackawanna is the 247th largest concentration in New York by number of providers, accounting for 0.1% of the state total.

The largest single group is social worker, at 19 providers or 32% of the total. Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training and scope, so the mix here partly reflects how New York licenses its providers.

No single licence type dominates here — social worker and mental health 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.

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.
