Atlanta's behavioral health sector registered a total of 19 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update. This represents 0% of the national weekly total for new registrations. Of these, 9 new providers were added this week, contributing to 10 new providers this year. The total includes 15 individual practitioners and 4 organizations.
ABA Credential Mix
Among the individual practitioners, the data shows 3 BCBA providers and 5 RBT providers. There were no providers holding dual BCBA and RBT credentials in this update. This ratio of BCBAs to RBTs suggests a limited supervisory capacity relative to direct service providers within this specific new registration cohort. Additionally, 4 providers hold multiple taxonomies, indicating diverse areas of practice beyond a single specialty. Other behavioral health professionals registered include 2 LPCs, 1 APC, MS, NCC, 1 MA, and 1 LCSW, MDIV.
Workforce Demographics
The individual provider workforce in Atlanta is predominantly female, with 14 female providers accounting for 93% of the total, while 1 male provider constitutes 7%. No nonbinary providers were registered in this update. No specific organizations appeared multiple times in this update, and no city counts were inflated by corporate headquarters registrations. The modest number of new ABA-specific credentials suggests a steady but not rapidly expanding growth in the direct ABA workforce for Atlanta this week.
