Washington recorded 5 behavioral health provider deactivations in the NPI registry for the week of Sept. 21–27, 2026, representing 3% of the national total. All five entries were individuals; no organizations were listed. A deactivation is an administrative registry change and does not, by itself, establish that a provider has stopped practicing or that a license action occurred.
Credentials recorded
Mental Health Counselor was the most frequently listed taxonomy, with 2 deactivations. The remaining entries were one each for RBT, BCBA and Clinical Social Worker. The counts show a mix of behavioral health roles, with counselors accounting for the largest credential group in this week’s small total. They describe registry records, not the number of providers currently working in those roles.
City distribution
Everett had 2 deactivations; Lakewood, Spokane and Seattle had one each. The records are spread across four cities, with Everett the only city appearing more than once. That distribution describes where the entries were associated in the registry and does not establish changes in local service availability. CMS removes names, addresses and taxonomy from most deactivated records; Hipa.ai retains names cached from public CMS files captured before deactivation.
The weekly figures are a snapshot of administrative NPI registry changes in Washington, not a measure of the state’s active behavioral health workforce.
