Dallas saw 27 behavioral health providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. This update includes 21 individual practitioners and 6 organizations. A total of 10 new providers were added this week, contributing to 12 new providers this year, indicating a modest but consistent growth in the city's behavioral health sector.
ABA and Behavioral Health Workforce
Within Dallas's individual provider landscape, the data shows a limited presence of core ABA professionals. There is 1 BCBA and 2 RBTs. No providers reported holding both BCBA and RBT credentials. This ratio of one BCBA supervising two RBTs suggests a very tight supervisory capacity for ABA services. Beyond ABA, the update also includes a broader mix of behavioral health professionals, such as 4 Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), 1 BCABA, and 1 Speech-Language Pathologist, indicating a diverse, though small, range of mental health and related services.
Demographics and Organizational Presence
The individual provider workforce in Dallas is predominantly female, with 20 female providers accounting for 95% of the total, while 1 male provider makes up 5%. No specific organizations were identified as appearing multiple times in this week's update, and there were no cities with inflated counts due to corporate headquarters. This data suggests that while Dallas has a diverse range of behavioral health specialties, the ABA workforce remains small, potentially impacting access to specialized ABA services for families in the area.
