Atlanta recorded 27 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total after rounding. The registry added 14 new providers this week, all of the 14 new providers reported this year. The count includes 22 individuals and 5 organizations, indicating a concentrated but active behavioral health market in the city.
ABA Credential Mix
The registry lists 2 BCBA providers and 10 RBT providers. 2 providers hold dual BCBA and RBT credentials, so those practitioners are counted in both categories; the credential groups are not mutually exclusive. One provider lists BCBA as a credential while using RBT as the taxonomy, underscoring that NPI fields can capture overlapping professional identities. The resulting profile points to a direct-care-heavy ABA workforce, with a relatively small documented BCBA pool available for supervision. The registry also identifies 9 providers with multiple taxonomies, another overlapping measure rather than a separate workforce segment.
Workforce Demographics
Among the reported workforce, 16 female providers represent 73%, compared with 5 male providers at 23% and 1 nonbinary provider at 5%. The demographic percentages total more than 100% because of rounding. No organization appeared multiple times as a notable employer in this update. Atlanta's new registrations and RBT concentration suggest expanding direct-care capacity, but the limited BCBA count may constrain supervision and the pace at which additional ABA services can come online.
