Los Angeles recorded 109 providers in the latest CMS NPI Registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The registry lists 49 new providers this week and 52 new providers this year. With 103 individuals and 6 organizations, the city remains a substantial regional behavioral health market, although the weekly additions suggest a particularly active period of provider registration.
ABA Credential Mix
The credential data includes 5 BCBAs and 39 RBTs, producing a BCBA-to-RBT ratio of approximately 1:7.8. One provider holds dual BCBA and RBT credentials, signaling career progression from direct implementation toward supervisory work. The dual-credential provider is counted in both categories, so these figures are not mutually exclusive. The relatively small number of BCBAs compared with RBTs points to potential pressure on clinical supervision capacity as the direct-care workforce expands. The registry also reports 33 providers with multiple taxonomies; that count overlaps with credential categories and should not be treated as a separate workforce segment.
Workforce Demographics
Among providers with reported gender data, 63 female practitioners represent 61% of the total, while 17 male practitioners account for 17% and 23 nonbinary practitioners account for 22%. A Brighter Day Recuperative Care LLC appears twice, making it the only organization listed multiple times in the update. The broader credential mix includes social workers, counselors, psychologists and addiction professionals, showing that Los Angeles’s behavioral health workforce extends well beyond ABA. The data suggests growing service capacity, but the limited BCBA count may constrain how quickly RBT growth translates into supervised ABA access.
