Jacksonville's behavioral health sector saw 28 total providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update, with 19 new registrations this week. This activity contributes less than 1% to the national weekly total, indicating localized growth rather than a major national surge in this specific period. The total includes 23 individuals and 5 organizations.
ABA Credential Mix
Among individual practitioners, the data shows 3 BCBAs and 13 RBTs. This ratio of over four RBTs per BCBA suggests a significant demand for supervisory BCBAs to support the direct care workforce in the area. No providers held dual BCBA and RBT credentials in this update. Additionally, the update included other behavioral health professionals such as 1 provider with a PHD, CCC-SLP credential, 1 provider with a CCC SLP credential, 1 LCSW, 1 MSW, LCSW, and 1 provider with a PH.D. credential. It is important to note that individuals may hold multiple credentials, and these categories are not mutually exclusive.
Workforce Demographics
The individual provider workforce in Jacksonville is predominantly female, with 18 female providers accounting for 78% of the total, while 5 male providers constitute 22%. No major multi-state ABA chains or notable organizations appeared multiple times in this week's update. This consistent influx of RBTs, alongside a smaller number of BCBAs, suggests a growing need for supervisory capacity to ensure high-quality ABA service delivery in Jacksonville.
