Columbus's behavioral health sector registered 39 providers in the latest national update, a figure representing 0% of the weekly total nationwide. This localized activity includes 35 individual practitioners and 4 organizations. The data also shows that 3 providers are registered under multiple taxonomies, indicating a range of specializations within the local workforce.
Credential and Workforce Mix
Among the newly registered individuals, the data shows a clear distinction in ABA roles with 1 BCBA and 5 RBTs. This ratio of one supervisor to five technicians is at the higher end of typical clinical models and is a key metric for assessing supervision capacity. The update also includes a variety of other mental health professionals, such as 2 LPCs and 2 LPCCs, reflecting a diverse behavioral health landscape beyond ABA services.
Provider Demographics
The individual provider workforce in Columbus is predominantly female, with 26 female providers comprising 74% of the total. This is complemented by 7 male providers (20%) and 2 nonbinary providers (6%). No single organization appeared multiple times in this week's update. This influx of direct-care RBTs suggests a growing demand for ABA services, which will require a corresponding increase in supervisory BCBAs to support sustainable growth in the region.
