Maine added 5 behavioral health providers in the latest weekly CMS update. This represents 0% of the national total for the week, indicating a minimal contribution to the national growth in behavioral health professionals from Maine during this period.
Behavioral Health Workforce Composition
This week's data for Maine shows no new Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) or Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). Consequently, there are no dual BCBA and RBT credentials reported. The 5 new providers are comprised of 2 individuals and 3 organizations, with listed taxonomies including Clinical Social Worker, Community/Behavioral Health Organization, Addiction Counselor, and Mental Health Counselor. This indicates that the current growth is focused on other critical areas of behavioral health, rather than directly expanding the state's ABA workforce.
Provider Demographics and Organizations
Among the 2 individual providers added this week, both are female, accounting for 100% of the individual additions. No male or nonbinary individual providers were reported. The organizational additions include Intentional Healthcare, LLC, Carpe Diem Counseling, LLC, and Wood and Water Wellness LLC. No specific organizations appeared multiple times in this week's data.
The absence of new ABA-specific credentials in this update suggests that Maine's behavioral health workforce growth this week is concentrated in other areas, rather than directly expanding the state's capacity for ABA services.
