Dallas's behavioral health sector saw 25 total providers registered in the latest CMS NPI registry update, with 14 new registrations this week alone. This represents 0% of the national weekly total, indicating a localized but consistent growth in the Dallas area's behavioral health workforce. Of these, 23 are individual practitioners and 2 are organizations.
ABA Credential Mix
Among individual practitioners, the data shows 2 BCBAs and 7 RBTs. The ratio of BCBAs to RBTs suggests a limited supervisory capacity relative to direct service providers, which could impact the scalability of ABA services in the region. There were no providers holding dual BCBA and RBT credentials in this update. Beyond ABA, Dallas also registered other behavioral health professionals, including 4 LPCs, 2 LCSWs, 1 CCC-SLP, 1 M.S., CCC/SLP, 1 LPC-ASSOCIATE, 1 LPC-A, and 1 PHD.
Workforce Demographics and Trends
The individual provider workforce in Dallas is predominantly female, with 21 female providers accounting for 91% of the total, while 2 male providers constitute 9%. No specific organizations appeared multiple times in this update. The influx of 14 new providers this week, all of whom are new this year, suggests a growing demand for behavioral health services in Dallas, though the low BCBA count indicates a potential bottleneck for ABA service expansion.
