How density varies inside Vermont
Each bar is the number of places at that level of provider density. A long right tail means a few places carry far more providers per resident than the rest of the state.
There are 4,733 licensed providers registered in Vermont. The two most common licence types are mental health counselor (1,522) and clinical social worker (1,265).
Vermont ranks 49th of 56 states and territories by the number of registered providers in this field.
The largest single group is mental health counselor, at 1,522 providers or 32% of the total. Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training and scope, so the mix here partly reflects how Vermont licenses its providers.
The largest single group, mental health counselor, accounts for 33% 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.
Providers are registered in 160 distinct places across Vermont. The map shows the ZIP codes with the highest counts.
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.
How Vermont got here
new registrations per yearEach registration carries the year it was issued, so the registry doubles as a record of when this workforce grew in Vermont. A rising line means the constraint is easing; a flat one means today's shortage is likely to be next year's too.
Who they are
self-reported to CMS75.1% of registered licensed providers in Vermont are women. Nationally the figure varies a great deal by licence type — occupational therapy at one end, psychiatry at the other. See the national breakdown.
You can filter any city list on this site by gender. We show it because it is one of the most common things people search for and, for some kinds of work, a real need — but it is only ever a filter here, never a ranking.

Places in Vermont
142 of 142 have their own page so far8 places have no per-resident figure. Those are office districts inside a larger urban area, rural towns whose practices serve a whole region, or places where most registrations share one employer's address — dividing by the resident population there produces a number that looks precise and describes nothing. The provider counts are unaffected; the test is described in the methodology.
