Wyoming registered 19 total behavioral health providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, accounting for 0% of the national total. This modest number is characteristic of states with smaller populations, signaling a consistent but limited expansion of behavioral health resources in the region.
Credentialing and Workforce Composition
The recent registrations in Wyoming show a distinct focus outside of applied behavior analysis. There were no new BCBA or RBT credentials reported. Instead, the data highlights credentials such as 4 PPCs (Provisional Professional Counselors), 1 LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), and other master's level counseling credentials including MA, MA ED., MS, PPC, and LPC. These primarily represent general mental health counseling and social work professionals, indicating that the current growth in Wyoming's behavioral health sector is concentrated in these areas rather than specialized ABA services.
Provider Demographics
The majority of new providers are individuals, with 15 individual providers compared to 4 organizations. Among individual registrants, the workforce is predominantly female, with 93% (14 individuals) identifying as female and 7% (1 individual) as male. No organizations appeared multiple times in this update, suggesting a diverse, rather than consolidated, landscape of new organizational entities.
This data suggests that while Wyoming is seeing a steady, albeit small, increase in general behavioral health professionals, the absence of new BCBA or RBT registrations points to a static or slow-growing ABA workforce. This trend could impact the availability and accessibility of specialized ABA services for individuals requiring this specific intervention in the state.
