Colorado recorded 307 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 3% of the national weekly total. With 161 new providers added this week, the state accounts for a meaningful share of current registry activity, signaling sustained behavioral health expansion across a broad provider base.

ABA Workforce Mix

The registry lists 14 BCBA credentials and 54 RBT credentials, along with 3 dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These categories overlap: dual-credentialed providers are included in both the BCBA and RBT counts, so they should not be treated as separate workforce groups. The RBT-to-BCBA pattern points to a larger direct-service workforce than supervisory workforce. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs and develop treatment plans, the mix suggests growing treatment capacity but also continued pressure on supervision availability. The registry includes 62 multi-taxonomy providers, further showing that credential and taxonomy records can represent overlapping professional roles.

Demographics and Organizations

Among 239 individuals, 191 women represented 80% of the workforce, compared with 37 men at 15% and 11 nonbinary providers at 5%. The organization count was 68. Aspen Hope Center appeared 5 times, while Action Behavior Centers Therapy LLC, Assessing Alternatives Counseling and Peer Connect LLC each appeared 3 times. Repeated entries may reflect multiple NPIs, locations or taxonomies rather than distinct employers.

Colorado’s active registry growth, combined with a sizable RBT base and comparatively smaller BCBA pool, suggests expanding ABA access will depend on recruiting supervisors alongside frontline technicians.
