Seattle recorded 55 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The registry added 18 new providers this week. Records include 46 individuals and 9 organizations, signaling activity across both independent clinicians and behavioral health entities. The count reflects NPI registrations, not necessarily active practices, staffed locations or available appointments.
ABA Credential Mix
The update lists 1 BCBA and 4 RBTs, including 1 dual credential held by a provider counted in both categories. These credential counts overlap and should not be treated as mutually exclusive groups. The small BCBA pool relative to RBTs suggests limited documented supervision capacity for direct-care staff, although the registry does not show current caseloads, employment relationships or whether a BCBA is actively supervising RBTs. The provider records also include an Assistant Behavior Analyst, indicating some behavior-analytic activity beyond the BCBA and RBT counts. Overall, the credential mix points to a market where growth in direct services may outpace the locally registered supervisory workforce.
Workforce Demographics
Among the reported workforce, women account for 34 providers, or 74%. Men account for 9 providers, or 20%, while 3 nonbinary providers, or 7%, were reported. Gender figures appear to describe individual providers rather than organizations. Sea Mar Community Health Centers appears three times, the most frequent organization in the update. Taxonomy also requires caution: 22 providers have multiple taxonomies, so classification totals can overlap. Seattle’s records suggest a diverse behavioral health market, but expanding ABA access will likely depend on adding BCBA supervision capacity alongside RBT and other direct-service roles.
