New Hampshire's behavioral health sector added 38 providers in the latest national registry update, representing less than 1% of the weekly total across the country. This cohort consists of 35 individuals and 3 organizations, reflecting modest but steady growth in the state's provider landscape, with a notable concentration of new activity in cities like Merrimack and Manchester.
ABA Workforce Composition
Within the new registrants, the data identifies 14 Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and 2 Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). Significantly, 1 provider holds dual BCBA and RBT credentials, a common marker of career advancement from technician to supervisor. This high ratio of RBTs to BCBAs suggests a workforce structured to support direct service delivery, provided there is adequate supervision. It is important to note that credential counts can overlap with other professional taxonomies, as 10 providers in this group listed multiple specializations.
Provider Demographics
The gender breakdown among individual providers shows a workforce that is predominantly female, with women making up 80% of the group, or 28 practitioners. The update also includes 3 male providers and 4 nonbinary providers. No large, multi-state ABA organizations appeared in this week's data, indicating that recent growth may be driven by smaller, local practices. This influx of direct-care staff suggests a growing pipeline for ABA services in New Hampshire, contingent on the continued recruitment of supervisory-level clinicians.
