Dallas's behavioral health sector registered 18 total providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. This update includes 11 new providers registered this week, contributing to 12 new registrations this year. The total comprises 15 individual practitioners and 3 organizations, indicating consistent, albeit modest, activity in the city's behavioral health workforce.
ABA Credential Mix
Among individual practitioners, the data shows 1 BCBA provider and 1 RBT provider. It is important to note that these categories are not mutually exclusive, though in this update, there are no dual-credentialed providers holding both BCBA and RBT credentials. This limited number of both BCBAs and RBTs suggests a constrained capacity for direct ABA service delivery and supervision within Dallas. The broader behavioral health landscape includes other professionals with credentials such as LPC-ASSOCIATE, LMSW, and LCDC, reflecting a diverse range of mental health and substance use disorder services.
Workforce Demographics and Trends
The individual provider workforce in Dallas is predominantly female, with 11 female providers accounting for 73% of the total, while 4 male providers constitute 27%. No nonbinary providers were registered in this update. There were no specific organizations appearing multiple times, suggesting a landscape of independent practices and smaller clinics rather than significant presence from multi-state ABA chains. This data suggests that while Dallas has a diverse behavioral health workforce, the ABA sector specifically shows limited growth in this reporting period, potentially impacting access to specialized services.
