Central Valley recorded 225 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 2% of the national weekly total. The registry includes 210 individuals and 15 organizations, indicating a meaningful concentration of behavioral health activity in the region. That count reflects NPI registrations, not a direct measure of active practices, available appointments or service capacity.

ABA Credential Mix

The update identifies 7 BCBA providers and 106 RBT providers. No providers are listed with dual BCBA and RBT credentials. These credential counts should not be treated as mutually exclusive with taxonomy or other credential categories: the registry reports 36 providers with multiple taxonomies, and some records carry more than one designation. The large RBT population signals substantial direct-care workforce activity, while the smaller BCBA group points to a limited supervisory pool. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, that imbalance could make clinical oversight a constraint as clinics expand, particularly if the registered RBT workforce is concentrated among a small number of employers or service networks.

Workforce Demographics and Locations

Women account for 152 providers, or 72% of the reported workforce. Men account for 36 providers, or 17%, while 22 providers, or 10%, are identified as nonbinary. These figures describe the reported workforce records and may not capture every provider’s gender. KINGS VIEW appears multiple times, with 2 registrations, likely reflecting separate organizational records or service classifications rather than two distinct locations. Fresno leads the listed cities with 45 providers, followed by Sacramento with 41, Riverbank with 21, Bakersfield with 18 and Modesto with 17. The data suggests strong RBT-driven growth but continuing pressure to build BCBA supervision capacity for broader ABA access.
