Therapists & Counselors in Winston-Salem, NC

Winston-Salem has 214 licensed providers with a registered practice address, across 10 licence types.

Among the 294 places in North Carolina big enough for the comparison to hold — at least a thousand residents, and a resident population that matches who is registered there — Winston-Salem ranks 256th by providers per resident.

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 North Carolina, 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 510 places in North Carolina with at least one registered provider, Winston-Salem ranks 33rd by count.

By licence type the breakdown is clinical social worker (52), mental health counselor (51), professional counselor (27), clinical psychologist (16), with 6 further types making up the remainder.

The largest single group, clinical social worker, accounts for 25% 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.

Registered addresses are spread across 9 ZIP codes. The map above sizes each ZIP by how many providers are registered there — clustering usually follows medical districts and commercial corridors rather than population.

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.
