San Fernando Valley recorded 57 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 37 new providers this year. Records include 49 individuals and 8 organizations, indicating activity from both practitioners and provider entities. The concentration signals a meaningful local behavioral health workforce, although NPI records do not confirm whether providers are actively practicing, accepting patients, staffing a location or offering ABA services.
ABA Credential Mix
The registry identifies 7 BCBA providers and 18 RBT providers. These categories are not mutually exclusive: 1 provider holds both BCBA and RBT credentials and is counted in each category. The dual credential can indicate progression from direct-care work toward behavior-analytic supervision, though the registry does not establish a current supervisory role. The larger RBT count points to stronger direct-service capacity than BCBA supervision capacity, a structure that may limit caseload growth if supervisory staffing does not keep pace. The update also reports 12 providers with multiple taxonomies, so credential and taxonomy totals overlap and should not be added as separate workforce shares.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 40 providers, or 82% of the reported workforce. Men account for 5 providers, or 10%, while 4 providers, or 8%, are nonbinary. No organizations appear multiple times in the notable-organization field. Van Nuys leads the listed cities with 13 providers, followed by Burbank with 9, Sherman Oaks with 8, Northridge with 7 and Tarzana with 4. Overall, the update suggests broad behavioral health activity across the Valley, but ABA access will depend on expanding BCBA supervision alongside the larger RBT workforce.
