Adolescent and Children Mental Health Clinic/Center: how many are there, and how many are in private practice?

National totals

What this specialty covers

An entity, facility, or distinct part of a facility providing diagnostic, treatment, and prescriptive services related to mental and behavioral disorders in children and adolescents. Services may be provided to parents and family members of the patient in the form of conjoint, group, or individual therapy, and education and/or training.

Reading the sole-proprietor share

For this specialty, the sole-proprietor share indicates how many records are marked that way in NPPES, not how many clinics operate as private practices. The field is self-reported and can miss ownership, employment, or organizational arrangements, so it is an imperfect proxy for private practice and should be read as a descriptive indicator rather than a definitive ownership measure.

By state

New NPI registrations by year

Counts reflect the year each NPI was first issued, among records still active today. The final year is partial: this data covers through 2026-01-11.

Data notes

• The sole-proprietor field is self-reported by the provider in NPPES and is an imperfect proxy for private practice.
• A sole-proprietor count shown as <11 is suppressed: the true value is below 11, which could include zero.
• An NPI record is an identifier and is not necessarily a count of a distinct clinic, location, or service site.
• Providers and organizations can update their NPPES taxonomy or status, so classifications and active-record counts can change.
• Providers are counted once, by their primary taxonomy code only.
