Denver's behavioral health sector registered 39 providers in the latest CMS NPI update, with 13 new registrations this week. This activity represents 0% of the national weekly total, indicating a localized but consistent pace of growth. The city's provider landscape includes 30 individuals and 9 organizations, reflecting a mix of independent practitioners and structured entities.
ABA Credential Mix
Among individual practitioners, the data shows 5 BCBAs and 4 RBTs. One provider holds dual BCBA and RBT credentials, indicating career progression from direct care to a supervisory role. The ratio of BCBAs to RBTs is approximately 1.25 BCBAs for every RBT, which is unusually high and suggests a robust supervisory capacity relative to direct service providers, or that not all RBTs are captured in this specific NPI data set. Beyond ABA-specific roles, other behavioral health credentials observed include 4 LCSWs, 3 LPCs, 1 MSW, 1 PHD, 1 LCSW, LAC, 1 PH.D., and 1 MFTC. It's important to note that these credential counts are not mutually exclusive and may overlap with various taxonomies.
Workforce Demographics
The individual provider workforce in Denver is predominantly female, with 20 female providers accounting for 67% of the total, while 10 male providers constitute 33%. There were no notable multi-state ABA chains or organizations appearing multiple times in this week's update, and no city counts were inflated by corporate headquarters registrations. This suggests a market primarily driven by local practices and individual practitioners.
This data points to a steady, locally-driven behavioral health workforce in Denver, with a strong supervisory presence in the ABA sector, which could support quality care delivery.
