San Fernando Valley recorded 54 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The registry lists 36 new providers this week and 40 new providers this year. With 47 individuals and 7 organizations, the activity signals a concentrated regional behavioral health workforce, although NPI registrations measure provider records rather than the full number of clinicians actively delivering care.
ABA Credential Mix
The registry shows 7 BCBA providers and 26 RBT providers. 2 providers hold both BCBA and RBT credentials, so those categories overlap and should not be read as mutually exclusive shares. The roughly 1:4 BCBA-to-RBT ratio points to a direct-care-heavy workforce and may place pressure on supervisory capacity as RBT staffing expands. The data also identifies 9 providers with multiple taxonomies, reflecting practitioners or entities whose records span more than one behavioral health or related service category.
Workforce Demographics
Among the reported workforce, 29 female providers represent 62%, while 7 male providers represent 15% and 11 nonbinary providers represent 23%. No organization appears multiple times by name in the update, so the data does not indicate a dominant employer presence. Van Nuys leads the area's city counts with 15 providers, followed by Sherman Oaks and Burbank with 6 providers each, Glendale with 5 providers, and Northridge with 4 providers.
The combination of rapid new registrations, a large RBT base, and comparatively fewer BCBAs suggests expanding ABA access alongside a continuing need to build local supervisory capacity.
