What the count covers

69 NPPES records list counseling psychologist (103TC1900X) as their primary taxonomy with a practice address in Louisiana: 1.5 per 100,000 residents against 2.1 nationally (50 states and D.C.). New Orleans has 10 of them (14%).

A record is a registration a provider made and keeps up to date: it shows neither that the provider is licensed nor that they still practice there. The state's own license search is the check.
