New York saw 378 behavioral health providers included in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 4% of the national total. This consistent activity indicates a steady demand for behavioral health services across the state, making it an active market for providers.

ABA Workforce Composition

Within the applied behavior analysis (ABA) sector, the data shows 20 BCBA credentials and 28 RBT credentials. Notably, there were no individuals holding both BCBA and RBT credentials in this specific update. The ratio of approximately 1.4 RBTs for every BCBA is relatively low, suggesting that while there is growth in the direct service workforce, a higher number of supervising BCBAs would be beneficial to support a more expansive RBT workforce and increase service capacity.

Provider Demographics and Key Employers

Of the 331 individual providers registered in New York this week, 84% were female, with 13% male and 3% nonbinary, a gender distribution that aligns with broader trends in the behavioral health field. Among organizations, General Physician, PC appeared 2 times in the new registrations, indicating its active presence in the New York provider landscape.

This data highlights a growing behavioral health workforce in New York, with a particular need for increased BCBA recruitment to optimize supervision capacity and enhance access to ABA services statewide.
