Columbus recorded 70 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The registry lists 44 new providers this week and 46 new providers this year. Records include 62 individuals and 8 organizations, indicating activity from both practitioners and behavioral health entities. The concentration signals a sizable local presence in the national registry, although NPI records do not confirm that providers are actively practicing, accepting patients, staffing a specific site or offering ABA services.
ABA Credential Mix
The registry reports 1 BCBA and 4 RBTs in Columbus, with no providers listed as holding both credentials. These credential categories are not necessarily a complete description of local ABA staffing, and they should not be treated as mutually exclusive with the other credentials and taxonomies in the file. Eleven providers have multiple taxonomies, further limiting direct comparisons across categories. The small BCBA count relative to RBTs suggests limited documented supervision capacity for direct-care staff. In ABA operations, that imbalance can restrict caseload growth even when RBT hiring accelerates, because BCBAs are needed for assessment, treatment planning and clinical oversight.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 47 providers, or 76% of the reported workforce. Men account for 14 providers, or 23%, while 1 provider, or 2%, is listed as nonbinary. The registry identifies 62 individuals and 8 organizations overall. Second Chance Therapy LLC appears twice, making it the only organization listed multiple times in the notable-organizations data. Taken together, the update suggests Columbus has expanding behavioral health activity but may need more documented BCBA capacity to translate workforce growth into broader ABA access.
