San Fernando Valley recorded 47 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The registry lists 25 new providers this week and 28 new providers this year. Records include 40 individuals and seven organizations, indicating activity from both practitioners and provider entities. That concentration signals a meaningful local behavioral health market, although NPI records do not establish whether a provider is actively practicing, accepting patients, staffing a site or offering ABA services.
ABA Credential Mix
The update identifies 6 BCBA providers and 18 RBT providers. These categories are not mutually exclusive with other credential or taxonomy fields, and the registry reports no dual BCBA-RBT providers. The larger RBT cohort points to more direct-care capacity than supervisory capacity. In ABA operations, that imbalance can constrain caseload growth because RBTs work under BCBA supervision; additional technicians do not necessarily translate into expanded services without enough behavior analysts to oversee treatment. The data also identifies seven providers with multiple taxonomies, so taxonomy counts should not be added to credential totals as separate workforce groups.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 33 providers, or 83% of the reported workforce. Men account for seven providers, or 18%; no nonbinary providers are reported. No notable organizations appear multiple times in the supplied data. Van Nuys is the area’s largest listed city, with 13 providers, followed by Burbank with seven and Sherman Oaks with six. Encino and Tarzana each have four. The city distribution places the largest concentration in Van Nuys while showing provider activity across several Valley communities. Overall, the update suggests a growing direct-care pipeline, but ABA access may continue to depend on expanding BCBA capacity to convert technician availability into supervised treatment.
