New Jersey added 177 behavioral health providers in the latest weekly CMS NPI registry update, representing 2% of the national total. This relatively modest share suggests a steady, rather than explosive, growth in the state's behavioral health workforce, indicating a consistent demand for services without a sudden surge.

ABA Workforce Composition

Within the applied behavior analysis sector, the data shows 38 providers with BCBA credentials and 5 providers with RBT credentials. It is important to note that these counts reflect any mention of the credential or taxonomy. There were no individuals explicitly holding both BCBA and RBT credentials in this update. The ratio of BCBAs to RBTs (38 to 5) suggests a strong supervisory base relative to the newly registered RBTs, which could indicate ample capacity for supervision or a lower rate of RBT registration compared to BCBAs.

Provider Demographics

Of the 125 individual providers, 106 (85%) are female, 17 (14%) are male, and 2 (2%) identify as nonbinary. This gender distribution aligns with broader trends in the behavioral health field. Among organizations, CPC Integrated Health, Inc. appeared most frequently with 4 listings, followed by Grandular Health Services LLC, Oaks Integrated Care, Inc., and Jennifer Cella-Roe, LCSW, LLC, each with 2 listings.

Overall, this data points to a growing, predominantly female behavioral health workforce in New Jersey, with a notable number of BCBAs, suggesting potential for expanding ABA services, provided sufficient RBTs are also entering the field.
