Oregon added 145 behavioral health providers in the latest weekly CMS update, representing 2% of the national total. This modest share suggests a steady, localized expansion within the state's behavioral health sector rather than a rapid surge in new practitioners.

Credential Mix and Workforce Capacity

Within the applied behavior analysis field, this update includes 2 Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and 8 Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). There were no individuals identified with dual BCBA and RBT credentials this week. While the 4-to-1 ratio of RBTs to BCBAs is generally considered healthy for direct service delivery under supervision, the low absolute numbers indicate a limited influx of new ABA-specific professionals in this period. Notably, 46 providers in this update hold multiple taxonomies, indicating a diverse skill set or multi-specialty practice among a significant portion of the new workforce. Other prominent behavioral health credentials include 9 Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs) and 8 Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs).

Provider Demographics and Key Organizations

Among the 114 individual providers, the workforce is predominantly female, with women accounting for 79%. Male providers constitute 20% of individuals, and 1% identify as nonbinary. On the organizational front, NEUROTHERAPEUTIC PEDIATRIC THERAPIES INC appeared 8 times, indicating a significant multi-site or multi-service presence within the state's behavioral health landscape.

This week's data suggests ongoing, albeit measured, growth across Oregon's diverse behavioral health workforce, with a particular emphasis on broader mental health counseling and social work rather than a concentrated expansion in ABA services.
