Orlando's behavioral health sector registered a total of 29 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update. Of these, 9 new registrations occurred this week, contributing to 16 new providers this year. This activity represents a negligible share of the national weekly total, yet signals consistent local market growth. The total includes 28 individual practitioners and 1 organization.
ABA Credential Mix
Among individual practitioners, the data indicates 1 BCBA and 10 RBTs. The RBT count reflects individuals with "RBT" as their primary taxonomy, while the BCBA count is based on the credential field; the single BCBA also holds an "Assistant Behavior Analyst" taxonomy. This low ratio of BCBAs to RBTs suggests a significant demand for direct service providers but highlights a potential bottleneck in supervisory capacity, crucial for quality ABA service delivery. No providers were registered with dual BCBA and RBT credentials. Beyond ABA, Orlando's behavioral health landscape includes 3 LMHCs, 3 LCSWs, and 1 SLP, diversifying available services.
Workforce Demographics and Trends
The individual provider workforce in Orlando is predominantly female, with 23 female providers accounting for 82% of the total, while 5 male providers constitute 18%. No nonbinary providers were registered. "HEALING MIND AND HEART SUPPORT SERVICES LLC" was the sole organization registered, with no other notable organizations appearing multiple times. The consistent addition of new providers, especially RBTs, suggests growing demand for direct behavioral health services in Orlando, though the low BCBA-to-RBT ratio may challenge scaling supervisory oversight.
