San Antonio's behavioral health sector registered 44 providers in the latest CMS update. This represents 0% of the national weekly total, indicating localized but consistent growth in the area. The new registrations include 34 individual practitioners and 10 organizations, reflecting a mix of independent professionals and clinic expansions within the city.
ABA Credential Mix
Within the individual provider data, a significant portion holds Applied Behavior Analysis credentials. There are 4 BCBAs and 21 RBTs. It's important to note that these counts are not mutually exclusive, as 2 providers hold both BCBA and RBT credentials, a common progression for RBTs pursuing advanced supervisory roles. This ratio of approximately one BCBA for every 5.25 RBTs suggests a need for more BCBA supervisors relative to the RBT workforce, which is crucial for maintaining adequate supervision levels in ABA clinics.
Workforce Demographics
The individual provider workforce in San Antonio is predominantly female, with 27 female providers making up 79% of the total. 5 male providers constitute 15%, and 2 nonbinary providers account for 6%. No specific organizations appeared multiple times in this update, suggesting a diverse market without a single dominant employer.
This data points to ongoing expansion in San Antonio's behavioral health services, particularly in the ABA sector, though the BCBA-to-RBT ratio highlights a potential area for workforce development to ensure robust supervision capacity.
