Maine recorded 33 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total after rounding. The registry lists 11 new providers this week, while the state has added 12 this year. Maine’s small reported share points to limited activity relative to the national registry, although the weekly additions show continued behavioral health enrollment.
ABA Workforce Mix
The registry identifies 1 BCBA and 1 RBT, with no dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These categories are not a complete count of ABA professionals, and credential and taxonomy fields can overlap or be recorded differently. Still, the one-to-one count provides no clear supervisory buffer: BCBAs design treatment and supervise RBTs, so a small BCBA presence can constrain ABA capacity as direct-service staffing grows.
Workforce Demographics
Maine’s provider records include 25 individuals and 8 organizations. Women account for 17 providers (68%), compared with 8 men (32%); no providers are recorded as nonbinary. Clinical social work is the most frequently represented credential category, with 5 LCSWs, while LCPC-C appears 3 times. No organization appears multiple times in the notable-organizations field. Portland, Bangor, Lewiston, Biddeford and Saco are the listed leading cities, indicating activity across several population centers rather than a single employer network.
The update suggests Maine’s behavioral health workforce is expanding incrementally, but the limited BCBA and RBT counts signal that ABA access may remain constrained without additional supervisory and direct-service capacity.
