Clinical Neuropsychologist: how many are there, and how many are in private practice?

National totals

What this specialty covers

A clinical psychologist who applies principles of assessment and intervention based upon the scientific study of human behavior as it relates to normal and abnormal functioning of the central nervous system. The specialty is dedicated to enhancing the understanding of brain-behavior relationships and the application of such knowledge to human problems.

Reading the sole-proprietor share

For Clinical Neuropsychologist records, the sole-proprietor share is the portion of active records whose NPPES record is flagged as a sole proprietorship. This flag is a self-reported NPPES field and an imperfect proxy for private practice, because it does not fully describe employment arrangements, group practices, or other practice structures.

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.
• - NPI records are administrative records and may not correspond one-to-one with individual clinicians or practices.
• - The counts use Clinical Neuropsychologist as the primary taxonomy, so providers with this classification only as a secondary taxonomy are not included.
• - NPI enumeration reflects record issuance and does not by itself measure workforce entry, current clinical activity, or practice growth.
• Providers are counted once, by their primary taxonomy code only.
