Denver's behavioral health sector includes 42 providers in the latest CMS NPI update, a figure representing 0% of the national weekly total. This localized activity includes 28 individual practitioners and 14 organizations, indicating a blend of solo practices and larger clinical groups. The update captures a snapshot of ongoing workforce changes within the city's healthcare landscape.
ABA Workforce Composition
The update identifies 3 BCBAs and 2 RBTs, an atypical ratio that suggests more supervisory capacity than direct-care staff in this particular cohort. For clinic operators, this could signal an opportunity to hire RBTs to support the available BCBA leadership. The data did not include any practitioners with dual BCBA and RBT credentials, which often marks a step in career progression from technician to supervisor.
Demographics and Notable Organizations
Individual practitioners are predominantly female, with 19 female providers comprising 68% of the total, alongside 6 male providers and 3 nonbinary providers. Among organizations, The Empowerment Program appeared twice in this week's registry additions. This data, showing limited ABA-specific growth alongside a variety of other mental health credentials, points to a diverse but potentially competitive hiring environment for ABA services in Denver.
