Maine saw 6 behavioral health providers added in the latest weekly CMS NPI registry update. All 6 providers were new this week and this year, representing 0% of the national weekly total. This low number indicates a minimal influx of new behavioral health professionals into the state's workforce during this specific period.
ABA Workforce Composition
This week's update for Maine did not include any new Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) or Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). Instead, the additions comprised other behavioral health specialists. One individual listed a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC) credential, while taxonomies included Speech-Language Pathologist, Clinical Social Worker, Mental Health Counselor, and Pastoral Counselor, alongside two Addiction Counselors. The absence of BCBA and RBT credentials means this particular update does not reflect growth in the state's direct ABA service capacity or supervision pipeline.
Provider Demographics
Among the 3 individual providers added, 2 were female, accounting for 67%, and 1 was male, making up 33%. The update also included 3 new organizations. New providers are distributed across cities such as Scarborough, York, South Portland, Cumberland Foreside, and Portland, indicating a spread of services across the state rather than concentration in a single urban hub. No specific organizations appeared multiple times in this week's data.
This week's data suggests that while Maine is seeing some growth in its broader behavioral health sector, there was no reported expansion in its ABA-specific workforce.
