San Antonio's behavioral health sector saw 65 providers registered in the latest CMS update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. This concentration signals a steady, albeit smaller, growth point for the industry. Of these, 57 are individuals and 8 are organizations. A significant portion of this activity is recent, with 27 providers newly registered this week, contributing to a total of 30 new providers in San Antonio this year.

ABA Credential Mix

The credential mix in San Antonio shows 18 Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and 2 Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). It is important to note that these are distinct roles, and there are no providers holding dual BCBA and RBT credentials in this dataset. This results in a ratio of 9 RBTs for every BCBA, which is higher than typical industry recommendations and may indicate a potential need for increased BCBA supervision capacity to support the RBT workforce. Beyond ABA-specific roles, the area also registered 11 Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), 2 PhDs, and 1 Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), reflecting a broader behavioral health landscape.

Workforce Demographics

Among individual practitioners, the workforce in San Antonio is predominantly female, with 51 female providers accounting for 89% of the total. Male providers number 6, making up 11%, with no nonbinary providers registered. No organizations appeared multiple times in this update. This data suggests a growing RBT workforce in San Antonio, but the relatively low number of BCBAs could pose future challenges for supervision and clinical oversight, impacting access to comprehensive ABA services.
