Las Vegas's behavioral health sector saw 67 total providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update, with 36 new registrations this week alone. This represents 1% of the national weekly total, indicating a steady, albeit moderate, growth in the region's behavioral health workforce. Of these, 49 are individual practitioners and 18 are organizations.
ABA Credential Mix
Among individual practitioners, the data shows 9 BCBAs and 25 RBTs. It's important to note that these credential counts are not mutually exclusive, as 2 providers hold dual BCBA and RBT credentials, signifying career progression from direct care to a supervisory role. The ratio of BCBAs to RBTs suggests a need for continued growth in supervisory capacity to meet the demands of direct care. Beyond ABA, the area also registered other behavioral health professionals, including one with a PHD, one LCSW, and one LCPC.
Workforce Demographics and Trends
The individual provider workforce in Las Vegas is predominantly female, with 36 female providers accounting for 73% of the total. Male providers number 9 (18%), and 4 providers identify as nonbinary (8%). CAPABILITY HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES appeared twice in this update, indicating its presence in the local market. The addition of 36 new providers this week, contributing to 42 new registrations this year, suggests a growing demand for behavioral health services and an expanding workforce in Las Vegas.
