The best states for access to therapy

Hawaii is the best state for access to psychotherapy, according to an analysis from Milliman. 

The report, commissioned by mental health nonprofit Inseparable, compared the average costs of psychotherapy in each state, how often people diagnosed with mental health conditions receive treatment, the number of behavioral health providers and several other factors. 

Milliman calculated a "therapy access ratio" for each state by calculating the difference in the average number of therapy visits received by individuals with mental health diagnoses to the to the average number of therapy visits received by individuals with behavioral health conditions living in the top decile of metropolitan service areas with the highest supply of behavioral health providers. 

The analysis was broken down by access to therapy for those with commercial insurance, Medicare and Medicaid.
