New Hampshire's behavioral health sector saw 26 total providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update. While this represents 0% of the national weekly total, it reflects a typical weekly intake for a smaller state. Of these, 6 providers were new this week, indicating ongoing, albeit modest, professional growth within the state's behavioral health landscape.
Credential Mix and Supervision Capacity
The credential mix in New Hampshire highlights a limited presence of ABA-specific professionals among the new registrants. The data shows 1 Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and 1 Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). It is important to note these are primary credentials listed, and some providers may hold additional certifications not captured in these specific counts. There were no providers with dual BCBA and RBT credentials. This low ratio of BCBAs to RBTs, coupled with the small overall numbers, suggests a constrained capacity for ABA supervision and direct service delivery, potentially impacting access to ABA services across the state. Other prevalent credentials include 3 Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselors (LCMHC) and 3 Licensed Independent Clinical Social Workers (LICSW).
Workforce Demographics
Among the 19 individual providers, the gender breakdown shows 11 female providers, accounting for 58%. There were 6 male providers, making up 32%, and 2 nonbinary providers, representing 11%. The remaining 7 providers were organizations. No specific organizations appeared multiple times in this week's data, suggesting a diverse range of smaller practices or individual practitioners rather than dominant multi-state chains. This data suggests a slow but steady expansion of the behavioral health workforce in New Hampshire, with a particular need for growth in the ABA sector to bolster service capacity.
