Phoenix recorded 49 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total reported in the dataset. The registry added 19 new providers this week and lists 25 new providers this year. Phoenix’s records include 37 individuals and 12 organizations, signaling continued provider activity across both independent clinicians and behavioral health entities. The registry count is not a direct measure of staffed locations, active caseloads or available appointments.
ABA Credential Mix
The update identifies 6 BCBA providers and 15 RBT providers, with no providers listed as holding both credentials. These credential categories can overlap with other classifications in the registry and should not be treated as mutually exclusive workforce shares. The BCBA count represents a smaller supervisory pool than the RBT count, a pattern that may constrain how quickly clinics can add direct-care staff or expand caseloads. The dataset reports 14 providers with multiple taxonomies, further indicating that classification totals should not be added together. Other listed credentials include seven LCSWs and two LMSWs, reflecting behavioral health activity beyond ABA.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 29 providers, or 78% of the reported workforce. Men account for 8 providers, or 22%, while no nonbinary providers were reported. No notable organization appears multiple times in the update, and all records are listed in Phoenix. Overall, the data points to an expanding but multidisciplinary behavioral health workforce in Phoenix, with access growth likely dependent on building BCBA supervision capacity alongside the larger RBT workforce.
