Denver's behavioral health sector registered 36 total providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update. While this represents 0% of the national weekly total, the city saw significant local activity with 19 new providers registering this week, contributing to 20 new registrations this year. The total includes 29 individual practitioners and 7 organizations.
ABA Credential Mix
Among individual practitioners, the data shows 2 BCBA providers and 7 RBT providers. It is important to note that these categories are not mutually exclusive, as one individual may hold multiple credentials, though in this update, no providers held both BCBA and RBT credentials. This results in a BCBA to RBT ratio of approximately 1:3.5, indicating a healthy supervisory capacity for the RBTs listed. Beyond ABA-specific roles, Denver's behavioral health landscape also includes professionals with credentials such as LSW, LMHCA, LPCC, and various Speech-Language Pathologists, broadening the scope of available care.
Workforce Demographics and Trends
The individual provider workforce in Denver is predominantly female, with 21 female providers accounting for 72% of practitioners. 6 male providers make up 21%, and 2 nonbinary providers represent 7%. No specific organizations appeared multiple times in this update, suggesting a diverse landscape of independent providers and smaller clinics rather than dominance by multi-state chains. The consistent influx of new providers, especially 19 new providers this week, points to an expanding workforce poised to enhance access to behavioral health services for families in Denver.
