Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners by county in Kentucky
How many listings of each profession have a practice location in each Kentucky county. This report counts listings. It does not measure shortages, wait times or whether care is adequate.
Key figures
How many psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners are listed in Kentucky?
236 psychiatrist listings and 925 psychiatric nurse practitioner listings have a practice location in Kentucky in this directory as of November 5, 2026. These are separate professions, counted separately. A psychiatrist is a physician; a psychiatric nurse practitioner is an advanced practice nurse. 9 of the psychiatrist listings show no credential on the record, so their profession comes from the NPI record alone.
How many Kentucky counties have a listing?
97 of 120 counties have at least one of these listings, and 23 have none listed. "None listed" describes this directory, not the county: it does not show that no one practices there or that people there cannot get care.
How do these counts compare with the federal NPI registry?
The NPI registry shows 555 psychiatrists and 1,261 psychiatric nurse practitioners with an active record and a practice address in Kentucky as of November 1, 2026. It includes hospitals and community clinics, which this directory leaves out, and clinicians keep their own records up to date. 3 of the 23 counties with none listed here do show someone in the registry.
Which Kentucky counties have few listings?
44 counties have one or two, where a single practice can change the count. They are marked in the table.
Does this report show a shortage of care?
No. It counts listings. It does not measure need, population, wait times, whether anyone is taking new patients or how far people travel, so it cannot show whether a county has enough care.

1 listing has a ZIP code that did not match a county in Kentucky. They are in the state totals and the CSV, but not in a county row.
How to read this report
- A listing is not an opening. It doesn't show that a clinician is practicing there today or taking new patients.
- "None listed" isn't "no care". This directory leaves out clinicians it has matched to hospital systems and community mental health centers, because it lists private practice. They may practice in a county that shows none or few.
- Telehealth isn't counted. People in a county may see a clinician by telehealth from elsewhere. A telehealth-only listing has no practice location here.
- One county per listing. Each listing counts once, in the county of its listed ZIP code. A clinician may also practice elsewhere, and a ZIP code can cross county lines.
- No population figures. Counties aren't adjusted for population or need, so don't compare them as better or worse served.
How these figures are counted
- Counted when this page loads, on November 5, 2026, from published listings in this directory.
- Source: the public NPI record, the federal registry of healthcare providers. NPI records were copied between October 27, 2026 and October 27, 2026.
- Psychiatrists are listings whose NPI record names a psychiatry specialty and whose credential doesn't show another license. 9 have no credential on the record, so they couldn't be checked that way.
- Psychiatric nurse practitioners are listings whose NPI record names that specialty, or whose nurse practitioner credential appears on a record registered under psychiatry. They are never counted as psychiatrists.
- Left out: psychiatric nurses who aren't nurse practitioners, primary care clinicians, therapists and practices listed as a whole.
- Older records: 317 NPI records were last updated more than 5 years ago, and clinicians update their own records, so some details may be out of date.
- NPI registry columns: a snapshot from November 1, 2026 of active individual records with a psychiatry or psychiatric nurse practitioner specialty as primary and a practice address in the state, sorted by the same rules as the listings. They include hospitals and community clinics, and a registry count isn't a count of who is practicing or taking patients. The gap between the columns isn't a count of who this directory left out, because the two were taken on different dates and use different filters.
- Counties: ZIP codes are matched to counties using GeoNames postal data as of 2026-10-15, with four Georgia ZIP codes corrected by hand. This data can place a ZIP code in the wrong county.
