Washington D.C. recorded 61 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The registry added 23 providers this week and 27 this year. The update includes 57 individuals and 4 organizations. A 1% share signals a concentrated, city-based behavioral health market that remains small in national terms but can shift quickly as new practices and clinicians enter the registry. NPI activity does not confirm active caseloads, staffing levels or appointment availability.
ABA Workforce Mix
The credential summary lists no BCBAs and 2 RBT credentials, with no dual BCBA-RBT credentials. The two RBT records also appear under the RBT taxonomy; those credential and taxonomy fields overlap and must not be treated as separate provider pools or mutually exclusive shares of the total. With no documented BCBA credentials, the update shows no identified ABA supervisory capacity, while the two RBTs would require BCBA oversight to deliver services within standard ABA staffing models. The broader mix includes social workers, counselors, a psychologist, a speech-language pathologist and other behavioral health professionals, indicating that the registry captures a multidisciplinary workforce rather than an ABA-focused provider base.
Demographics and Organizations
Gender data identifies 38 female providers, 19 male providers and no nonbinary providers, corresponding to 67%, 33% and 0%. The gender totals match the 57 individual providers. Every listed provider is based in Washington, the only top city reported. No notable organization appears multiple times in the update. 20 providers carry multiple taxonomies, an overlap that may reflect broader service roles and does not represent 20 additional providers.
The update suggests limited documented ABA access in Washington D.C. and a need for BCBA recruitment if RBT-level capacity is to expand.
