There are 278 licensed providers registered in Burien. The two most common licence types are mental health counselor (142) and counselor (42).

Among the 185 places in Washington big enough for the comparison to hold — at least a thousand residents, and a resident population that matches who is registered there — Burien ranks 79th by providers per resident.

That puts Burien close to the middle for Washington. Expect to contact several providers rather than one, and to find that availability rather than choice is the binding constraint.

Of the 327 places in Washington with at least one registered provider, Burien ranks 37th by count.

By licence type the breakdown is mental health counselor (142), counselor (42), clinical social worker (30), addiction (substance use disorder) counselor (21), with 4 further types making up the remainder.

Just over half of the licensed providers here — 53% — hold the same licence, mental health 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.

Registered addresses are spread across 4 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.
