Denver recorded 64 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The registry lists 25 new providers this week and 29 new providers this year. With 52 individuals and 12 organizations, the city’s activity signals a concentrated behavioral health market, although NPI registrations capture clinicians and entities rather than confirmed employment, caseloads or available appointments.
ABA Credential Mix
The update identifies 3 BCBAs and 6 RBTs. No providers are listed with dual BCBA and RBT credentials. These credential counts are not necessarily mutually exclusive with taxonomy or other professional categories; the registry reports 15 providers with multiple taxonomies, so categories should not be added as distinct workforce segments. The RBT-to-BCBA pattern points to more direct-care capacity than supervisory capacity in the records. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, a small BCBA pool can become a constraint on team expansion, clinical oversight and service access even when additional technicians enter the registry. Denver’s records also include LPCs, LCSWs, speech-language pathologists and other behavioral health professionals, reflecting a broader, multidisciplinary provider base.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 44 providers, or 85% of the reported workforce. Men account for 6 providers, or 12%, while nonbinary providers account for 2 providers, or 4%. The percentages describe the reported gender fields and total more than 100 because of rounding. Polaris Partners Counseling and Consulting LLC appears twice in the registry, with separate organization registrations and counseling-related taxonomies; that repetition may reflect distinct records or classifications rather than two operating locations. Overall, Denver’s weekly activity suggests continued behavioral health growth, but ABA access may depend on expanding BCBA supervision alongside RBT recruitment.
