Dallas registered 23 behavioral health providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update, accounting for 0% of the national weekly total. Of these, 7 providers were new this week, contributing to 10 new providers this year. The additions include 18 individual practitioners and 5 organizations, indicating a mix of independent growth and clinic expansion within the city.
Credential Mix
This week's data for Dallas shows a diverse mix of behavioral health professionals, though specific ABA credentials are few. There is 1 BCBA and 1 RBT. Notably, the RBT also holds a NURSE AIDE credential, illustrating how providers may have multiple professional backgrounds. The limited number of ABA-specific credentials this week suggests that the growth is more broadly distributed across various behavioral health disciplines rather than concentrated in ABA. Other registered professionals include 2 Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW) and 2 Licensed Professional Counselors (LPC), alongside other mental health and allied health specialists.
Workforce Demographics
Among the individual providers, the workforce is predominantly female, with 13 female providers accounting for 72%. Male providers constitute 5 individuals, or 28%. No specific organizations appeared multiple times in this week's data, suggesting a fragmented market rather than dominance by a few large multi-state chains. This week's data points to a general expansion of behavioral health services in Dallas, with a stronger emphasis on counseling and social work professionals compared to ABA specialists in this particular update.
