Therapists & Counselors in Wake Forest, NC

Wake Forest has 318 licensed providers with a registered practice address, across 10 licence types.

With a population of 58,147, that works out to 54.7 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.

That puts Wake Forest 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, Wake Forest ranks 24th by count.

By licence type the breakdown is mental health counselor (91), clinical social worker (85), professional counselor (30), marriage & family therapist (25), with 6 further types making up the remainder.

The largest single group, mental health counselor, accounts for 30% of licensed providers registered here, so no one licence defines what is available. Training route and areas of focus vary more within a licence type than between them.

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.
