Seattle recorded 43 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. The registry added 20 new providers this week, bringing the year-to-date total to 21 new registrations. With 41 individuals and 2 organizations, the activity points to a broad, practitioner-led behavioral health workforce rather than a market dominated by large organizational registrations.
ABA Credential Mix
The update lists 0 BCBA providers and 5 RBT providers, with 0 dual credentials reported. These credential categories do not overlap in this update. The absence of BCBAs alongside five RBTs suggests limited visible ABA supervision capacity in the registry snapshot, although NPI records may not capture every active supervisor or the full structure of local clinics. The remaining credentials span counseling, social work, addiction services and case management, while 7 providers reported multiple taxonomies. Because taxonomy and credential fields can overlap, those counts should not be treated as mutually exclusive workforce segments.
Workforce Demographics
Among individual practitioners, 29 are female, representing 71% of the workforce. 7 are male, or 17%, while 5 identify as nonbinary, or 12%. No organization appeared multiple times as a notable employer in this week's data. Seattle's substantial influx of newly registered providers, combined with a small RBT presence and no listed BCBAs, suggests expanding behavioral health activity but a potential need to strengthen the supervisory pipeline for ABA access.
