Therapists & Counselors in Memphis, TN

2,055 licensed providers are registered in Memphis — about 33.7 for every 10,000 residents.

Among the 207 places in Tennessee big enough for the comparison to hold — at least a thousand residents, and a resident population that matches who is registered there — Memphis ranks 80th by providers per resident.

A figure well above the median usually means more choice and shorter waits than most of Tennessee — 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 314 places in Tennessee with at least one registered provider, Memphis ranks 3rd by count.

By licence type the breakdown is mental health counselor (413), social worker (357), clinical social worker (339), professional counselor (201), 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.

Registered addresses are spread across 32 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.
