Phoenix recorded 31 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. The registry added 14 new providers this week and 20 new providers this year. The local count includes 21 individuals and 10 organizations, signaling continued registration activity in a regional behavioral health market, although NPI records do not establish that every provider is accepting clients or actively delivering care.
ABA Credential Mix
The update lists 1 BCBA and 9 RBTs, with no providers identified as holding both BCBA and RBT credentials. That produces a heavily direct-care-weighted mix, with one listed supervisory credential for every nine RBT credentials. For ABA operators, the pattern may indicate a need for additional BCBA capacity to supervise technicians, but registry counts do not measure caseloads, employment relationships or available appointment capacity. The broader credential data also includes 7 providers with multiple taxonomies. Credential and taxonomy categories overlap, so these counts cannot be treated as mutually exclusive shares of Phoenix’s provider base. Other listed professionals include social workers, counselors, speech-language pathologists and a psychologist, reflecting a multidisciplinary behavioral health footprint beyond ABA.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 18 providers, or 86% of the reported workforce, while men account for 3 providers, or 14%. No nonbinary providers were reported. The update identifies no notable organizations appearing multiple times, so it provides no clear evidence of repeated representation by a dominant employer or PE-backed ABA chain. Overall, Phoenix’s fast pace of new registrations, combined with a larger RBT pool than BCBA pool and substantial cross-disciplinary representation, suggests expanding behavioral health activity but a potential supervisory constraint for ABA access.
