New Jersey recorded 6 behavioral health provider deactivations during the week of Aug. 17-23, representing 4% of the national total. All were individual providers, while 0 organizations appeared in the update. The records fall within the Behavioral Health Providers segment and reflect NPI registry status changes for the week, rather than a measure of current clinical activity.
Credentials
Professional Counselor and Mental Health Counselor were the most frequently retired taxonomy categories, with 2 each. Clinical Social Worker and Addiction (Substance Use Disorder) Counselor each accounted for 1 deactivation. The credential distribution is therefore split between two counselor categories, with the remaining records representing social work and substance-use-disorder counseling.
Locations
The listed top cities were Piscataway, West Orange, Collingswood, Westampton and Hammonton, each with 1 record. Newark also appears among the individual provider records. Because the leading cities each have one deactivation, the data do not show a concentration in a single municipality. The geographic spread instead describes individual registry changes across several New Jersey communities, without establishing a broader local workforce trend.
These weekly figures describe administrative NPI deactivations; they do not by themselves indicate that a provider has stopped practicing or that a license action occurred.
