Maine added 11 behavioral health providers in the latest weekly CMS NPI registry update. This represents a very small fraction of national enrollments this week, signaling a modest, localized influx of new professionals into the state's behavioral health landscape rather than a widespread expansion.
ABA and Clinical Counseling Workforce
Within the applied behavior analysis field, this update includes only 1 Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and 0 Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). There were no individuals reported with dual BCBA and RBT credentials this week. This minimal addition suggests very limited new capacity for ABA supervision or direct service delivery from this specific enrollment period. The majority of the 10 individual providers joining Maine's workforce this week represent other critical behavioral health specialties. These include two LCPC-C (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - Conditional), two LADC (Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor), one CADC, LMSW-CC (Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, Licensed Master Social Worker - Conditional Clinical), one LCPC, and one PHD. These credentials indicate growth in mental health counseling, addiction treatment, and clinical social work, which are vital for comprehensive behavioral health care.
Provider Demographics
The new individual providers are predominantly female, with 90% identifying as female and 10% as male. The single organizational provider, Sandy Mait LLC, is based in Wells. No other organizations appeared multiple times in this week's data. This week's enrollments highlight a diverse but small addition to Maine's overall behavioral health workforce, with particular growth in counseling and addiction services rather than ABA.
