Dallas recorded 26 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total reported in the dataset. The registry lists 13 new providers this week and 16 new this year, including 20 individuals and 6 organizations. The activity points to ongoing provider registration in Dallas, although the reported national share rounds to zero and should not be read as evidence that local behavioral health activity is absent.
ABA Credential Mix
The registry identifies 2 BCBA providers and 2 RBT providers, with no providers holding both credentials. Because the categories do not overlap in this update, the credential counts can be compared directly. The equal counts suggest a limited but balanced representation of supervisory and direct-care ABA roles in the registry. That balance does not establish active caseload capacity: NPI records do not show whether providers are accepting referrals, how many clients they serve or whether organizations employ additional clinicians. Four providers have multiple taxonomies, so taxonomy and credential categories may overlap elsewhere in the dataset and should not be treated as mutually exclusive measures of the workforce.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 15 providers, or 75% of the reported workforce. Men account for 4 providers, or 20%, and one provider is listed as nonbinary, or 5%. The update names no notable organizations appearing multiple times, so it offers no specific evidence of concentration under a recurring employer or major ABA chain. The broader mix includes mental health counselors, speech-language pathologists, social workers and behavioral health organizations alongside ABA records. Dallas’s registrations suggest a multidisciplinary behavioral health base with some ABA presence, but the small BCBA and RBT counts indicate that expanding access may depend on further growth in both supervision and direct-care capacity.
