Las Vegas's behavioral health sector saw 24 new providers registered in the latest CMS NPI registry update, contributing 1% to the national weekly total. The city now hosts a total of 44 providers, comprising 37 individuals and 7 organizations, signaling consistent growth in the region's behavioral health landscape.
ABA Credential Mix
Among individual practitioners, the data highlights a significant presence of Applied Behavior Analysis professionals. There are 6 providers holding a BCBA credential and 16 providers holding an RBT credential. It is important to note that these credential counts are not mutually exclusive, as 1 provider holds both BCBA and RBT credentials, reflecting a common career progression from direct care to a supervisory role. This ratio of BCBAs to RBTs, approximately 1 BCBA for every 2.67 RBTs, suggests a developing and generally adequate supervision capacity for delivering ABA services. Other credentials include one BCBA with an LBA, one LCSW, one MS in Human Services, one PhD, one CPC-I, and one CSW-I.
Workforce Demographics
The individual provider workforce in Las Vegas is predominantly female, with 33 female providers accounting for 89% of the total, while 4 male providers constitute 11%. No major multi-state ABA chains or notable organizations appeared multiple times in this week's update, suggesting a market primarily driven by local practices and individual practitioners. This consistent influx of both direct-service RBTs and supervisory BCBAs indicates an expanding ABA workforce in Las Vegas, likely supporting increased access to care for local families.
