Arizona's behavioral health sector added 138 providers in the latest national update, representing 2% of the weekly total. This cohort includes 108 individuals and 30 organizations, with a significant portion of the growth occurring this week, which saw 59 new providers. This steady influx signals continued investment and expansion in the state's behavioral health workforce.

ABA Credential Mix

The update shows a clear focus on Applied Behavior Analysis, with 51 Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and 19 Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) identified by credential. These counts are not mutually exclusive, as some professionals hold multiple certifications. The presence of 9 providers with dual BCBA and RBT credentials highlights a common career ladder from technician to supervisor. This ratio of approximately 2.7 RBTs for every BCBA suggests a healthy capacity for clinical supervision, which is critical for supporting the frontline workforce.

Workforce Demographics

Among individual providers, the workforce is predominantly female, with women comprising 75% of the group. Men accounted for 23%, and nonbinary individuals made up the remaining 2%. On the organizational side, ALLY PEDIATRIC THERAPY LLC was the most active entity, appearing 9 times in the data, indicating either a significant hiring push or the registration of new service locations. This data suggests that Arizona's ABA workforce is expanding, potentially increasing access to care across the state.
