Miami's behavioral health sector registered 65 total providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. This concentration indicates a consistent level of activity in the region's behavioral health workforce. Of these, 18 new providers registered this week, contributing to 23 new registrations this year. The total includes 53 individual practitioners and 12 organizations.
ABA Credential Mix
Among individual practitioners, the data shows 22 BCBA providers and 29 RBT providers. It is important to note that these categories are not mutually exclusive, as 4 providers hold both BCBA and RBT credentials, signaling career progression from direct care to a supervisory role. This results in a BCBA to RBT ratio of approximately 1:1.3, suggesting a developing supervision capacity crucial for maintaining quality ABA services. Additionally, 13 providers reported multiple taxonomies, indicating a diverse skill set beyond primary ABA roles, including professionals with credentials such as LMHC, BCABA, and LCSW.
Workforce Demographics and Trends
The individual provider workforce in Miami is predominantly female, with 45 practitioners, representing 85% of individual providers. 8 practitioners identify as male, making up 15%. No nonbinary providers were registered in this update. There were no specific organizations appearing multiple times in this update, suggesting a diverse landscape of independent providers and smaller clinics rather than dominance by multi-state chains. The consistent influx of new providers, particularly in the ABA sector, points to an expanding workforce poised to enhance access to behavioral health services for families in Miami.
