New Hampshire's behavioral health provider registry includes 35 total providers as of this week's CMS NPI update, with 1 new registration recorded in the latest cycle. The state has added 12 providers year-to-date, a modest pace that reflects the narrow specialist market for applied behavior analysis and related disciplines in a state of roughly 1.3 million residents.
The credential mix reveals a supervision constraint: New Hampshire has 4 BCBAs and 7 RBTs, but zero providers holding dual BCBA+RBT credentials. This separation indicates limited evidence of career progression within the state's ABA workforce. The BCBA-to-RBT ratio of roughly 1:1.75 suggests potential gaps in supervisory capacity, particularly if those four board certified behavior analysts are already managing caseloads. Beyond core ABA roles, the registry includes 3 providers with MSW and LICSW credentials, signaling some integration with clinical social work, plus speech-language pathologists and counselors.
The workforce skews heavily female: 79% of the 29 individual providers are women, with 10% male and 10% nonbinary. Providers cluster in five cities—Nashua, Dover, Manchester, Rochester, and Bedford—concentrating services in the southern tier. No single organization dominates the registry; 6 organizations are represented against 29 individuals, suggesting a fragmented, largely solo-practitioner landscape rather than the multi-site chain consolidation visible in neighboring states. This decentralization may limit access for families outside core urban corridors.
