The Bay Area recorded 304 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 3% of the national weekly total. The registry lists 152 providers new this week, with 174 added this year. Records include 285 individuals and 19 organizations, indicating substantial practitioner activity alongside agency and facility registrations. The concentration signals a major behavioral health labor market, although NPI records do not confirm active practice, open caseloads, staffing locations or ABA service availability.

ABA Credential Mix

The registry identifies 13 BCBA providers and 111 RBT providers, with 4 dual-credentialed providers holding both BCBA and RBT credentials. The dual-credentialed providers are included in both credential counts, so these categories are not mutually exclusive. The large RBT population relative to the BCBA count points to strong direct-care workforce capacity but a smaller pool of potential clinical supervisors. That imbalance can limit how quickly clinics expand services, since BCBAs supervise RBTs and must support treatment planning and oversight. The registry also reports 78 providers with multiple taxonomies; those records likewise should not be treated as separate, additive workforce groups.

Workforce Demographics

Women account for 203 providers, or 71% of the reported workforce. Men account for 48 providers, or 17%, and nonbinary providers account for 34, or 12%. Bonita House, Inc. appears three times in the registry, across case-management and community/behavioral-health taxonomies. San Jose leads the listed cities with 35 providers, followed by Concord with 32, Oakland with 27, San Francisco with 23 and Santa Rosa with 14. The update suggests broad ABA-related workforce activity across the Bay Area, but continued access growth will depend on expanding BCBA supervision capacity alongside the large RBT workforce.
