New Hampshire registered 10 new behavioral health providers this week, representing 0% of the national total. This indicates a modest, rather than booming, expansion of the behavioral health workforce in the state. The state's total provider count in this update is 28, comprising 20 individuals and 8 organizations.
ABA Workforce Composition
For the applied behavior analysis (ABA) sector, New Hampshire's new registrations include 2 BCBA credentials and 0 RBT credentials. The absence of new RBTs, coupled with a low number of BCBAs, indicates a significant gap in the direct service provider pipeline for ABA. Without RBTs to deliver direct therapy under BCBA supervision, the capacity for expanding ABA services in the state remains severely limited. There were no dual BCBA+RBT credentials reported in this update.
Provider Demographics and Key Employers
The individual provider registrations show a clear gender distribution: 85% female (17 individuals), 5% male (1 individual), and 10% nonbinary (2 individuals). This aligns with the predominantly female workforce often seen in behavioral health fields. Among organizations, MOORE CENTER SERVICES, INC. appeared 2 times in the new registrations, indicating its active presence in the Manchester area.
The minimal growth in ABA-specific credentials, particularly the lack of new RBTs, suggests that New Hampshire faces ongoing challenges in expanding access to applied behavior analysis services, potentially impacting waitlists and service availability for individuals needing these interventions.
