Las Vegas's behavioral health sector saw 33 behavioral health providers added in the latest CMS update, with 13 new registrations this week. This total represents 0% of the national weekly total, indicating localized but steady growth. Of these, 24 are individual practitioners and 9 are organizations, signaling a mix of independent professionals and new clinic establishments.
ABA Credential Mix
Within the individual providers, the data shows 2 Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and 10 Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). One of the BCBAs also holds a state-level Licensed Behavior Analyst (LBA) credential, reflecting Nevada's licensing requirements. Notably, there were no providers holding dual BCBA and RBT credentials in this update. The resulting ratio of 1 BCBA for every 5 RBTs suggests a functional supervision capacity for ABA services in the area. Beyond ABA, the update also included 4 Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), 1 Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), and 1 Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), indicating broader behavioral health expansion.
Workforce Demographics
The individual workforce is predominantly female, with 20 female providers making up 83% of the total. Male providers accounted for 4 practitioners, or 17%. No single organization registered multiple new providers in this week's data. This influx of RBTs, supported by BCBAs, suggests a continued effort to meet the demand for direct ABA services in the Las Vegas area.
