Colorado’s behavioral health sector saw a significant surge, adding 212 providers in the latest weekly NPI registry update. This accounts for 2% of the national total, a notable concentration for the state. The group includes 177 individuals and 35 organizations. A striking 105 of these providers were new this week, making up the vast majority of the 111 new providers registered in Colorado so far this year and signaling a recent, intense burst of registration activity.
ABA Workforce Composition
Within the ABA field, the update includes 20 BCBAs and 49 RBTs. The presence of 3 individuals with dual BCBA and RBT credentials often signifies career progression from technician to supervisor. These numbers yield a ratio of roughly 2.5 RBTs per BCBA, a very low figure that suggests strong supervisory capacity and a well-supported direct-care workforce. It is important to note these credential counts are not mutually exclusive; the data also includes professionals like LPCs and LCSWs, and some individuals are listed with multiple professional taxonomies.
Provider Demographics
Among the individual providers, the workforce is predominantly female at 79%, with male providers at 16% and nonbinary individuals at 5%. One organization, MOMENTUM COUNSELING AND CONSULTING LLC, appeared 10 times in the data, indicating a significant registration event or expansion for that specific group. Provider activity was concentrated in cities including Colorado Springs, Denver, and Aurora.
This data points to a rapidly expanding and well-structured ABA workforce in Colorado, with a healthy supervision ratio that bodes well for service quality and access to care across the state.
