Numbers are derived from automated collection of publicly listed psychologist profiles. A single psychologist may appear in multiple categories (e.g. both Capital Region and Zealand if they have clinics in both regions). Specialties and therapy methods are self-reported. Prices are not included — coverage is too sparse for trustworthy statistics.
