Central Valley recorded 237 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 2% of the national weekly total. The registry includes 131 new providers this week and 144 new providers this year. With 227 individuals and 10 organizations, the area’s activity is driven primarily by practitioner registrations. The concentration signals a meaningful share of national behavioral health growth, although NPI records do not confirm whether providers are actively practicing, accepting patients, staffing a clinic or offering ABA services.

ABA Credential Mix

The registry identifies 9 BCBA providers and 94 RBT providers. No providers are recorded with both BCBA and RBT credentials. These credential counts are not mutually exclusive with other credential or taxonomy categories: some providers appear under multiple designations, and the registry reports 50 providers with multiple taxonomies. The wide gap between BCBAs and RBTs points to a workforce weighted toward direct service rather than clinical supervision. For ABA operators, that pattern can limit caseload expansion unless BCBA capacity grows alongside technician hiring.

Workforce Demographics

Women account for 177 providers, or 78% of the reported workforce. Men account for 35 providers, or 15%, while 15 providers, or 7%, are nonbinary. No notable organization appears multiple times in the update. Sacramento leads the listed cities with 43 providers, followed by Fresno and Modesto with 37 each, Bakersfield with 32 and Stockton with 16. Overall, the update shows strong RBT growth across Central Valley communities, but ABA access will depend on developing more BCBA supervision capacity to support that expanding direct-care workforce.
