Florida recorded 727 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 7% of the national weekly total. The update includes 333 providers added this week, with 612 individuals and 115 organizations in the registry. That concentration signals a large, active behavioral health market and continued provider formation across Florida, particularly in Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Cape Coral and Jacksonville. NPI activity does not confirm that a provider is accepting patients, maintaining an active caseload or operating a staffed clinic.

ABA Workforce Mix

The credential data lists 118 BCBA credentials and 314 RBT credentials, including 17 dual credentials. These categories overlap and are not mutually exclusive shares of Florida’s provider total. The registry also reports 142 providers with multiple taxonomies, while some entries use a credential field that differs from the taxonomy field. The wide gap between BCBAs and RBTs indicates a workforce weighted toward direct implementation, with fewer credentialed clinicians available to supervise technicians, design treatment plans and monitor care. The dual-credential count is notable enough to show some movement across the ABA career ladder, but it remains a small part of the listed credential activity.

Demographics and Organizations

Florida’s registry records 518 female providers, 79 male providers and 15 nonbinary providers, corresponding to 85%, 13% and 2%. The gender distribution is strongly female, consistent with the broader caregiving and behavioral health workforce. Several organizations appear repeatedly: Chase Therapies Inc. is listed three times, while Opus Mental Health Center LLC, Amor Therapy Services Inc. and De Cardenas Behavioral Health Services Inc. each appear twice. Repeated NPIs or organizational entries should not be treated as equivalent measures of staffing or service capacity.

Florida’s expanding RBT base suggests continued ABA workforce growth, but the smaller BCBA pool makes supervision capacity a key constraint on access.
