Columbus's behavioral health sector saw an addition of 14 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update. All 14 providers are individuals, with no organizations registering this week. This represents 0% of the national weekly total, indicating a localized, modest expansion of the city's practitioner base.
ABA Credential Breakdown
Among the 14 individual providers, the data shows a diverse mix of specialties. Only 1 provider is registered as an RBT, with no new BCBAs reported. This suggests a very limited addition to the direct ABA workforce and no new supervisory capacity within the ABA field from this week's update. Additionally, 1 provider holds an LISW-S credential, indicating a focus on clinical social work, while other new providers include acupuncturists and addiction counselors.
Workforce Demographics
The individual provider workforce in Columbus is predominantly female, with 11 female providers making up 79% of the total, compared to 3 male providers. No notable organizations appeared multiple times in this week's update, nor were there any city counts inflated by corporate headquarters registrations. This week's data indicates a small, diverse influx of individual practitioners into Columbus's broader behavioral health landscape, with minimal direct impact on the ABA workforce's supervisory capacity.
