Wyoming saw 42 total behavioral health providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update, with 8 new providers added this week. This represents 0% of the national weekly total, indicating a very small contribution to the national workforce growth and suggesting a limited, localized behavioral health market.
ABA Workforce Dynamics
Within the applied behavior analysis (ABA) sector, the data shows only 1 BCBA credential and 0 RBT credentials among individuals. There were also no individuals holding dual BCBA and RBT credentials. While one organization, Kutest Kids Early Intervention LLC, is listed with a BCBA taxonomy, the absence of individual RBTs and the single BCBA credential among individuals points to a critical shortage of ABA-specific providers. This severe lack of both supervising BCBAs and direct service RBTs suggests significant challenges for ABA service delivery and workforce development in Wyoming.
Provider Demographics
Of the 38 individual providers in this update, the gender distribution shows 20 (53%) are female and 18 (47%) are male. This breakdown is relatively balanced compared to some other states, though females still represent the majority. No specific organizations appeared multiple times in this week's data, suggesting a fragmented provider landscape rather than dominance by large multi-state chains.
The limited number of new behavioral health professionals, particularly the near absence of ABA-specific credentials, highlights substantial gaps in workforce capacity, likely impacting access to specialized services across Wyoming.
