New Hampshire saw 34 behavioral health providers added in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, with 15 new registrations this week. This represents 0% of the national weekly total, indicating a relatively small contribution to the national provider growth. The state's additions include 32 individuals and 2 organizations, suggesting a localized and perhaps less concentrated market compared to states with larger, multi-state provider chains.
ABA Workforce Composition
Focusing on the ABA workforce, New Hampshire registered 3 BCBA credentials and 5 RBT credentials. There were no individuals holding both BCBA and RBT credentials in this update, which means no new dual-credentialed professionals reflecting career progression were added this week. The resulting ratio of approximately 1.67 RBTs per BCBA is lower than the ideal for robust supervision capacity, suggesting a potential bottleneck for scaling direct ABA services if this trend continues. Other notable credentials among new providers include 3 LICSW providers and 2 individuals with a BA.
Provider Demographics
The individual provider additions show a clear gender distribution: 24 providers are female, accounting for 75%; 7 are male, representing 22%; and 1 provider identifies as nonbinary, making up 3%. This gender split aligns with national trends in the behavioral health sector, which is predominantly female. No specific organizations appeared multiple times in this week's data, suggesting a fragmented landscape without dominant multi-state employers making significant new entries.
The modest number of new ABA-specific credentials and the lower RBT-to-BCBA ratio indicate that New Hampshire's ABA workforce may face challenges in rapidly expanding access to services, potentially limiting growth for new and existing clinics.
