Nevada recorded 80 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, accounting for 1% of the national weekly total. With 29 new providers this week, the state represents a smaller share of national activity but still shows a substantial addition relative to its overall registry footprint. The mix points to continued behavioral health expansion across both major population centers and rural communities.
ABA Workforce Dynamics
The registry identifies 7 BCBA credentials and 23 RBT credentials, plus 1 dual credential held by a BCBA and RBT. These categories overlap: the dual credential is included in both the BCBA and RBT counts, so they should not be added as separate people. The resulting pattern—more RBTs than BCBAs—suggests a larger direct-service workforce than supervisory workforce, a structure that makes BCBA recruitment and retention important for maintaining treatment capacity. The registry also reports 28 multi-taxonomy providers, underscoring that taxonomy and credential fields can capture overlapping professional roles.
Workforce Demographics
Among individual providers, 44 women accounted for 83% of the reported gender breakdown. The registry lists 8 men, representing 15%, and 1 nonbinary provider, representing 2%. Rural Nevada Counseling appeared 4 times, with entries in Fernley, Yerington, Silver Springs and Dayton. Las Vegas, Reno, Henderson, North Las Vegas and Winnemucca were among the leading cities represented.
Nevada’s registry activity suggests continued behavioral health growth, while the RBT-heavy ABA profile signals that expanding supervisory capacity will be central to improving access statewide.
