Online psychiatrists by state

A psychiatrist must hold a licence in the state where the patient is located at the time of the appointment, so pick the state you will be sitting in — not the one the clinician happens to live in. Across the country there are 120,793 psychiatric prescribers on the federal registry: 58,615 with an MD, 5,137 with a DO and 57,041 psychiatric nurse practitioners.

See the national picture — every state ranked by coverage per head of population, the cities with the most clinicians, and how the workforce is changing.

Counts come from the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System, refreshed weekly. "Child" counts clinicians whose registered speciality is child and adolescent psychiatry. Being on the registry is not the same as actively practising, and a practice address shows where a clinician is based rather than every state they are licensed in.
