Denver's behavioral health sector saw 38 providers registered in the latest CMS NPI registry update. This week, 15 new providers were added in Denver, contributing to the 17 new providers registered this year. The additions include 25 individual practitioners and 13 organizations, indicating a mix of independent growth and clinic expansion within the city.
ABA Credential Mix
Among individual providers, the data shows a presence of Applied Behavior Analysis professionals. There are 3 BCBAs and 4 RBTs. The data indicates no providers holding dual BCBA and RBT credentials in this update. The ratio of BCBAs to RBTs, approximately one BCBA for every 1.3 RBTs, suggests a relatively tight supervision capacity, which is crucial for maintaining the quality and ethical delivery of ABA services. Beyond ABA, other significant credentials include 4 LCSWs and 2 PSYD professionals, alongside a range of other mental health and medical specialists.
Workforce Demographics and Organizational Presence
The individual provider workforce in Denver is predominantly female, with 21 female providers making up 84% of the total. Male providers account for 3 individuals or 12%, and 1 nonbinary provider represents 4%. Notably, "MEDX COMMUNITY CLINICS" and "ADVANCED BEHAVIORAL RESOURCES" each appeared twice in the organizational listings, suggesting their active presence in the Denver market. This data points to a growing, albeit diverse, behavioral health workforce in Denver, potentially enhancing access to care across various specialties.
