Denver recorded 47 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The registry lists 25 new providers this week and 28 new providers this year. Records include 37 individuals and 10 organizations, indicating activity from both independent practitioners and provider entities. That concentration signals a meaningful behavioral health market, although NPI records do not confirm whether a provider is actively practicing, accepting patients, staffing a site or offering ABA services.
ABA Credential Mix
The update identifies 4 BCBA providers and 9 RBT providers. These categories overlap: 1 provider holds both credentials and is included in each count. The dual-credential total is modest, but it may reflect career progression from direct-care work toward behavior-analytic supervision. The larger RBT group points to more potential technician-level capacity than BCBA-level supervisory capacity, a pattern that can constrain caseload growth if clinics add direct-care staff faster than they recruit or develop supervisors. Credential categories also overlap with other professional roles, and the registry reports 9 providers with multiple taxonomies; these figures should not be added as mutually exclusive workforce shares.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 30 providers, or 81% of the reported workforce. Men account for 6 providers, or 16%, while 1 nonbinary provider represents 3%. The supplied data identify no notable organizations appearing multiple times. Denver’s mix of strong recent registry activity, a larger RBT cohort and a smaller BCBA group suggests that expanding ABA access may depend on building supervisory capacity alongside the direct-care workforce.
