Orlando's behavioral health sector saw 25 total providers registered in the latest CMS NPI registry update. While this represents 0% of the national weekly total, the city added 15 new providers this week, contributing to 16 new registrations this year, signaling consistent growth in the local workforce. The total includes 22 individual practitioners and 3 organizations.
ABA Credential Mix
Among individual practitioners, the data shows 5 BCBA providers and 8 RBT providers. It is important to note that these categories are not mutually exclusive, though no dual-credentialed providers holding both BCBA and RBT credentials were noted in this update. This ratio suggests a relatively tight supervisory capacity, with a need for more BCBAs to oversee the growing RBT workforce. The area also includes other professionals such as 2 LMHCs and 1 PSYD, indicating a broader scope of behavioral health services.
Workforce Demographics and Trends
The individual provider workforce in Orlando is predominantly female, with 21 female providers accounting for 95% of the total. No male providers were registered, while 1 nonbinary provider constituted 5%. No specific organizations appeared multiple times, nor were any city counts skewed by corporate headquarters registrations, suggesting a diverse local market rather than dominance by multi-state chains. This consistent influx of new providers, particularly within the ABA sector, points to an expanding workforce poised to enhance access to behavioral health services for families in Orlando.
