Figure 1: Oklahoma's distribution of licensed behavioral health providers (2025), rates per 100,000

To go strictly by head count, many Oklahoma counties would appear to have adequate behavioral health providers (50 per 100,000 or higher). But this data assumes that all licensed providers are practicing, and that they are all practicing full time, masking actual provider availability.

Note: Counties in gray have zero licensed providers. This map may overestimate access to providers in southeast Oklahoma, in which the Chickasaw and Choctaw Nations' health systems have a large presence. In general, only tribal citizens can access care in these systems.
