Las Vegas's behavioral health sector now includes 47 providers, with 25 new registrations this week and 30 new registrations this year. The city's contribution to the national weekly total was 0%. This total comprises 35 individual practitioners and 12 organizations, signaling a growing local presence in behavioral health services.
ABA Credential Mix
Within this growing workforce, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) professionals are a significant component. The data shows 3 BCBAs and 20 RBTs. It is important to note that these credential counts are not mutually exclusive, as 1 provider holds both BCBA and RBT credentials. This ratio of approximately one BCBA for every 6.7 RBTs suggests a substantial RBT workforce requiring supervision, which could indicate high demand for direct ABA services but also a potential bottleneck in supervisory capacity. Additionally, other behavioral health credentials include 1 CPC-I, 1 LCSW, 1 LMSW, 1 MFT, and 1 QMHA.
Workforce Demographics
The individual provider workforce in Las Vegas is predominantly female, with 30 female providers accounting for 86% of the total. Male providers number 4, representing 11%, and 1 nonbinary provider makes up 3%. No major multi-state ABA chains or other notable organizations appeared multiple times in this week's update, suggesting a market primarily composed of local practices and individual practitioners rather than large corporate entities.
This consistent influx of RBTs, alongside a smaller but present BCBA contingent, indicates an expanding direct-service ABA workforce in Las Vegas, which is essential for meeting the increasing need for behavioral health interventions in the community.
