Nevada's behavioral health sector saw a total of 73 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. This indicates a relatively smaller, but steady, contribution to the national workforce, with 1 new provider added this week and 30 new providers registered this year. The state's landscape comprises 60 individual providers and 13 organizations.
Credential Mix and Supervision Capacity
Among individual providers, the data reveals 4 BCBA credentials and 25 RBT credentials. It is important to note that one individual holds both a BCBA and an RBT credential, reflecting a career progression or specialized role within the field. The ratio of RBTs to BCBAs, approximately eight RBTs for every BCBA (considering the dual credential), highlights a potential strain on supervision capacity, which is crucial for maintaining quality ABA services and ensuring adherence to clinical standards. Beyond ABA, the registry also shows 4 LCSW professionals and 2 LCPC professionals, indicating a broader spectrum of mental health support.
Workforce Demographics and Key Players
The individual provider workforce in Nevada is predominantly female, with 47 female providers making up 78% of registrants, while 12 male providers account for 20%. One provider identifies as nonbinary, representing 2%. Noteworthy organizational presences, each appearing twice in the data, include Integrative Health Partners LLC and Therapyworks LLC, suggesting their notable activity or recent expansion within the state. Additionally, 25 providers hold multiple taxonomies, indicating a diverse range of services offered within Nevada's behavioral health community.
This data points to a growing, yet supervision-intensive, ABA workforce in Nevada, with a strong emphasis on direct service roles, which will be key for expanding access to care across the state.
