Philadelphia saw 11 new behavioral health providers registered in the latest CMS NPI registry update, contributing less than 1% to the national weekly total. The city now hosts a total of 24 providers, comprising 19 individuals and 5 organizations, indicating a modest but consistent expansion in the local behavioral health landscape.
ABA Credential Mix
Among the individual practitioners, the data shows 2 BCBAs and 3 RBTs. No providers held dual BCBA and RBT credentials this week. This ratio suggests a relatively balanced but small ABA workforce in Philadelphia, crucial for direct service delivery and supervision capacity. Beyond ABA, other credentials observed include one MSW, one MT-BC, one LAPC, one MS, LPC, one LCSW, one LPC, CAGS, MS, one PSYD, and one LPC, BC-DMT, CAADC, indicating a diverse range of mental health specialties.
Workforce Demographics
The individual provider workforce in Philadelphia is predominantly female, with 16 female providers accounting for 84%. Male providers total two (11%), and one nonbinary provider makes up 5%. Notably, Tower Drexel Academic Medical Group LLC and STC Pediatrics LLC each appeared twice in this update, suggesting their active presence in the local healthcare ecosystem.
This week's data points to a steady, albeit small, influx of behavioral health professionals in Philadelphia, with a diverse mix of specialties supporting local access to care.
