Arizona's behavioral health sector expanded by 181 providers in the latest CMS registry update, representing 2% of the national total. This group is composed of 139 individuals and 42 organizations, signaling continued investment in the state's behavioral health infrastructure.

ABA Workforce Ratio

Among the new individual providers, the ABA field is heavily represented by 58 Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and 15 Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). This creates a ratio of nearly four RBTs for every one BCBA, a figure that suggests manageable supervision caseloads for new analysts. The data also identified two providers holding dual BCBA and RBT credentials, a common marker of career progression. It is important to note that provider counts may overlap, as 45 providers in this update listed multiple taxonomies.

Provider Demographics

The individual provider workforce is predominantly female at 84%, with men accounting for 13% and nonbinary individuals making up 3%. On the organizational side, Hofunity Behavioral Health LLC and Changepoint Integrated Health each appeared twice, indicating localized hiring activity. The significant growth in RBTs suggests a strong focus on expanding direct service capacity across Arizona.
