New York accounts for 309 behavioral health providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 3% of the national total. The state added 1 provider this week but has onboarded 165 new providers year-to-date, signaling sustained workforce expansion in a market where ABA supervision infrastructure and complementary mental health services operate closely in tandem.

The credential mix reveals a supervision bottleneck. New York lists 22 BCBAs and 24 RBTs, but only 3 providers hold dual BCBA+RBT credentials—the career pathway that typically signals experience across both clinical and supervisory roles. The dominance of mental health licensures—35 LCSWs, 14 LMHCs, and 9 MHC-LPs—indicates that behavioral health in this registry spans well beyond ABA into broader psychotherapy and counseling. Among the 260 individuals registered, 216 are female (83%), a gender skew common in allied health workforces.

The 49 organizations on file suggest a fragmented provider landscape compared to PE-backed chains dominant elsewhere. Concentrations in Brooklyn, New York, Bronx, Staten Island, and Buffalo reflect New York City's dominance but also indicate rural outreach potential in western regions.

With 165 new providers added this year against a modest dual-credential base, New York faces potential strain on supervision capacity if ABA clinic growth continues to outpace BCBA recruitment.
