398th of 1,055 places in PA
population 4,093
15 licensed providers are registered in Akron — about 36.6 for every 10,000 residents.
With a population of 4,093, that works out to 36.6 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 an encouraging upper bound rather than a promise.
Akron is the 398th largest concentration in Pennsylvania by number of providers, accounting for under 0.1% of the state total.
The largest single group is professional counselor, at 9 providers or 60% of the total. Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training and scope, so the mix here partly reflects how Pennsylvania licenses its providers.
Just over half of the licensed providers here — 60% — hold the same licence, professional counselor. Where one type dominates like this, the practical question is less which letters someone has than whether they work with what you are bringing to them.
15 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: 53,486 licensed providers are registered across Pennsylvania, and many practices now offer appointments by video. The towns listed further down are the next places to look.
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.
