Therapists & Counselors in Burlington, NC

Burlington has 332 licensed providers with a registered practice address, across 10 licence types.

That is roughly 10.6 providers per square mile of land area, or 54 per 10,000 residents.

That puts Burlington close to the middle for North Carolina. Expect to contact several providers rather than one, and to find that availability rather than choice is the binding constraint.

Of the 510 places in North Carolina with at least one registered provider, Burlington ranks 26th by count.

By licence type the breakdown is clinical social worker (104), mental health counselor (88), professional counselor (47), addiction (substance use disorder) counselor (25), with 6 further types making up the remainder.

No single licence type dominates here — clinical 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.

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.
