Therapists & Counselors in Brookings, SD

Brookings has 77 licensed providers with a registered practice address, across 10 licence types.

Among the 57 places in South Dakota big enough for the comparison to hold — at least a thousand residents, and a resident population that matches who is registered there — Brookings ranks 29th by providers per resident.

A figure well above the median usually means more choice and shorter waits than most of South Dakota — though supply is not the same as availability. Plenty of providers in a well-served area are full, out of network, or private-pay only.

Of the 133 places in South Dakota with at least one registered provider, Brookings ranks 8th by count.

By licence type the breakdown is mental health counselor (23), counselor (20), professional counselor (8), clinical social worker (7), with 6 further types making up the remainder.

10 distinct licence types are registered here. The letters after a provider's name describe their training route rather than a ranking, and several of them do substantially overlapping work.

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.
