Denver's behavioral health sector registered 37 providers in the latest CMS NPI update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. This activity includes 23 individual practitioners and 14 organizations, indicating a mix of independent and group practices contributing to the local behavioral health landscape.
ABA Credential Mix
The data reveals a diverse credential mix beyond just ABA. Among the individual and organizational providers, there are 3 BCBAs and 2 RBTs. It's important to note that these counts reflect NPI registrations and may include both individuals listing the credential and organizations listing it as their primary taxonomy. The low number of RBTs compared to BCBAs, with no dual BCBA+RBT credentials reported, suggests a relatively small direct-care ABA workforce registered with individual NPIs, or that many RBTs operate under organizational NPIs. The broader behavioral health field in Denver also saw 4 LCSWs, 1 LCSW, LICSW, 1 PSYD, 1 LMHCA, and 1 LPCC.
Workforce Demographics
The individual provider workforce in Denver is predominantly female, with 17 female providers accounting for 74% of the total. Male providers number 4, making up 17%, and 2 providers identify as nonbinary, representing 9%. No specific organizations appeared multiple times in this update. This snapshot suggests a behavioral health workforce in Denver that is diverse in its professional scope but shows a relatively small, individually-registered ABA workforce, which may impact access to direct ABA services.
