Denver's behavioral health sector registered 32 total providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. This indicates a localized update rather than a major national surge in registrations. Of these, 11 new providers registered this week, contributing to 13 new registrations this year. The total includes 24 individual practitioners and 8 organizations.
ABA Workforce Snapshot
Among individual practitioners, the data shows 1 BCBA provider and 4 RBT providers. These credential categories are not mutually exclusive, though no dual BCBA+RBT credentials were observed in this specific update. The low number of BCBAs relative to RBTs suggests a limited supervisory capacity, which is critical for the quality and expansion of ABA services. Beyond ABA, the update also registered other behavioral health professionals, including those with LCSW, PHD, and LPC credentials.
Demographics and Organizational Landscape
The individual provider workforce in Denver is predominantly female, with 19 female providers accounting for 79% of the total, while 5 male providers constitute 21%. No nonbinary providers were registered in this update. No specific organizations appeared multiple times, suggesting a diverse mix of independent practices and smaller entities rather than large multi-state chains dominating this week's registrations. The modest number of new ABA providers, particularly BCBAs, indicates a need for continued growth in supervisory roles to support the RBT workforce and expand access to behavioral health services for families in Denver.
