Dallas's behavioral health sector saw 28 providers registered in the latest CMS NPI registry update. This represents 0% of the national weekly total. Notably, 12 new registrations occurred this week, accounting for a significant portion of the 14 new providers registered this year. The total includes 20 individual practitioners and 8 organizations.
ABA Credential Mix
Among the individual practitioners, the data shows 2 BCBA-certified professionals and 3 RBTs. The absence of dual BCBA+RBT credentials means no individuals were registered with both certifications this week. This ratio of BCBAs to RBTs suggests a limited supervisory base for direct ABA services. Beyond ABA, the Dallas area also registered 4 LCSWs, 2 MSWs, and 2 LPCs, among other mental health professionals. Additionally, 11 providers reported multiple taxonomies, indicating a diverse range of services offered.
Workforce Demographics
The individual provider workforce in Dallas is predominantly female, with 18 female providers accounting for 90% of the total, while 2 male providers constitute 10%. No nonbinary providers were registered in this update. This week's significant influx of new registrations, particularly within the year's total, points to a growing behavioral health workforce in Dallas, potentially expanding access to care.
