New Jersey recorded 185 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 2% of the national weekly total. The update lists 99 new providers this week and 111 added this year, including 132 individuals and 53 organizations. That concentration signals a substantial and active behavioral health market, although NPI records reflect registry activity rather than confirmed staffing, caseloads or appointment availability. The mix of individual and organizational entries also points to both workforce additions and provider-entity formation.

ABA Workforce Mix

The credential summary identifies 28 BCBAs, 9 RBTs and 1 provider with dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These categories overlap: the dual-credential record is included in the broader credential counts and should not be treated as a separate group. The registry also reports 34 providers with multiple taxonomies, another indication that categories can describe overlapping roles rather than distinct workforce segments. The BCBA count exceeds the RBT count in this snapshot, suggesting a stronger documented supervisory pool than technician pipeline. For ABA operators, that may support clinical oversight capacity, though the registry cannot show whether BCBAs supervise RBTs or whether providers are actively delivering services.

Demographics and Organizations

Gender data lists 111 female providers, 17 male providers and 4 nonbinary providers, corresponding to 84%, 13% and 3%. SERV CENTERS OF NEW JERSEY, INC appears 4 times, while GIVING BETTER LIVES LLC appears 2 times; repeated records may reflect multiple locations or NPIs rather than separate employers. The leading listed cities are Lakewood, Clifton, Jersey City, Westampton and West Orange.

New Jersey’s update suggests a broad, predominantly female behavioral health workforce with meaningful BCBA representation, but continued tracking is needed to determine whether registry growth is translating into greater ABA access.
