Why there is no per-resident figure here
Shade Gap has about 9.2× as many registered providers as its own population would account for. Places like this are office districts or medical campuses inside a larger urban area — the 5 licensed providers here serve that wider area, not only the 78 residents inside the boundary. Dividing by those residents would produce a number that looks precise and means nothing.
There are 5 licensed providers registered in Shade Gap. The two most common licence types are clinical social worker (2) and mental health counselor (1).
That is roughly 156.3 providers per square mile of land area.
This is good news rather than bad if you live nearby: a concentration like this is what a regional cluster of practices looks like, and people travel to it from across the area. It does mean the list below is worth reading alongside the surrounding towns rather than on its own, since where someone registered an address and where their clients come from are two different things here.
Shade Gap is the 623rd largest concentration in Pennsylvania by number of providers, accounting for under 0.1% of the state total.
The largest single group is clinical social worker, at 2 providers or 40% 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.
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.
With only 5 providers registered locally, most people here will be looking beyond the town. Licences are issued at state level, so a provider anywhere in Pennsylvania can generally see you by video — which makes the statewide figure the more useful one: 53,486 licensed providers are registered across Pennsylvania. Asking specifically whether a practice takes remote appointments is usually the fastest way to widen the search.
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.
