South Florida recorded 276 providers in the latest CMS NPI Registry weekly update, representing 3% of the national weekly total. The region includes 144 new providers this week and 152 new providers this year. The registry identifies 233 individuals and 43 organizations, signaling sustained behavioral health activity across one of Florida’s largest and most active care markets.

ABA Credential Mix

The registry lists 50 BCBAs and 144 RBTs. These categories overlap: 8 providers hold both BCBA and RBT credentials and are counted in each total. The credential counts therefore should not be treated as mutually exclusive shares. Even with that overlap, the roughly one-to-three BCBA-to-RBT balance points to a workforce weighted toward direct-care delivery, with a comparatively smaller supervisory pool responsible for overseeing RBT services. The registry also reports 50 providers with multiple taxonomies, another reason the categories should not be read as distinct groups.

Workforce Demographics

Women account for 196 providers, or 84% of the reported workforce. Men account for 33 providers, or 14%, while 4 providers, or 2%, are identified as nonbinary. KINETIC KICKOFF LLC appears twice in the registry, once under a mental health counselor taxonomy and once under BCBA, indicating that some organizations span behavioral health service lines. Miami leads the area with 79 providers, followed by Hialeah with 25 providers, Stuart with 21 providers, Fort Lauderdale with 17 providers and Boca Raton with 12 providers.

South Florida’s strong registration activity and large RBT workforce suggest expanding ABA access, while the smaller BCBA pool highlights continued demand for qualified supervisors.
