Wyoming saw 24 behavioral health providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update, representing a negligible share of the national weekly total. Of these, 8 providers were new this week, indicating a modest but active entry into the state's behavioral health landscape. The majority, 18 individual providers, were listed, with 6 organizations also represented.
ABA Workforce Dynamics
Within the applied behavior analysis (ABA) sector, the data shows 1 BCBA and 1 RBT, identified through their primary taxonomy, with no individuals holding both credentials. This extremely limited number of credentialed ABA professionals highlights significant challenges for providing comprehensive ABA services and ensuring adequate supervision capacity across the state. The low BCBA-to-RBT ratio, while numerically balanced at 1:1 in this small sample, still points to a severe scarcity of qualified supervisors. Beyond ABA, the broader behavioral health field in Wyoming saw 3 PCSW credentials, 3 LPC credentials, and 2 LCSW credentials, alongside other specialists like Speech-Language Pathologists and Psychologists, indicating a diverse but numerically small professional base.
Provider Demographics
Of the 18 individual providers, the workforce exhibits a clear gender distribution: 12 individuals (67%) are female, while 6 (33%) are male. No specific organizations appeared multiple times in this week's data, suggesting a fragmented provider landscape rather than the presence of dominant multi-state chains often seen in more populous regions. The top cities for provider activity included Rock Springs, Casper, Cody, Laramie, and Douglas.
The very small number of ABA professionals, coupled with a diverse but limited overall behavioral health workforce, suggests significant access barriers for specialized services like ABA in Wyoming, underscoring the need for targeted recruitment and training initiatives.
