Las Vegas's behavioral health sector registered 62 providers in the latest CMS update, accounting for 1% of the national weekly total. This concentration indicates a developing regional presence. The group comprises 54 individuals and 8 organizations. Of these, 25 providers were newly registered this week, contributing to a total of 29 new providers in Las Vegas this year.

ABA Credential Mix

The data reveals a strong presence of ABA professionals, with 34 RBTs and 7 BCBAs. It is important to note these counts overlap, as 4 providers hold dual BCBA and RBT credentials, often indicating a career progression from technician to supervisor. This results in an RBT-to-BCBA ratio of approximately 4.86:1, which is within a typical range for effective supervision. Other notable credentials include 2 LCSWs, 1 LSW, and 1 MFT, indicating a broader scope of behavioral health services beyond ABA.

Workforce Demographics

Among individual practitioners, the workforce is predominantly female, with 40 female providers making up 74% of the total. Male providers number 13, accounting for 24%, and there is 1 nonbinary provider, representing 2%. No specific organizations appeared multiple times in this week's data, suggesting a diverse organizational landscape rather than dominance by a few large entities.

This influx of providers, particularly the balance between RBTs and BCBAs, suggests a growing and potentially well-supported ABA workforce in the Las Vegas area, which could enhance access to services for those in need.
