Miami's behavioral health sector registered 60 total providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. This concentration signals Miami's consistent activity in the country's behavioral health workforce. Of these, 15 new providers registered this week, contributing to 20 new registrations this year. The total includes 54 individual practitioners and 6 organizations.
ABA Credential Mix
Among individual practitioners, the data shows 18 BCBA providers and 34 RBT providers. It is important to note that these categories are not mutually exclusive, as 5 providers hold both BCBA and RBT credentials, indicating a career progression from direct care to a supervisory role. This results in a BCBA to RBT ratio of approximately 1:1.89, suggesting a developing supervision capacity crucial for maintaining quality ABA services. Beyond ABA-specific roles, Miami's behavioral health landscape also includes professionals with other credentials such as a BCABA, Speech-Language Pathologists, and Mental Health Counselors, broadening the scope of available care.
Workforce Demographics and Trends
The individual provider workforce in Miami is predominantly female, with 83% of practitioners identifying as female, while 17% are male. No nonbinary providers were registered in this update. There were no specific organizations appearing multiple times in this update, suggesting a diverse landscape of independent providers and smaller clinics rather than dominance by multi-state chains like Blue Sprig or Action Behavior Centers. The consistent influx of new providers, particularly in the ABA sector, points to an expanding workforce poised to enhance access to behavioral health services for families in Miami.
