South Florida recorded 256 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 2% of the national weekly total. The region added 120 new providers this week, including 135 new providers this year. Its records include 202 individuals and 54 organizations, signaling substantial provider and business activity across the market. NPI counts do not establish active caseloads, staffed locations or appointment availability.

ABA Credential Mix

The registry identifies 61 BCBA providers and 106 RBT providers. These categories overlap: 10 providers hold both BCBA and RBT credentials and are counted in each total. The dual-credential group is notable because it can reflect progression from direct-care work toward behavior-analytic supervision, although the registry does not confirm current supervisory roles. The larger RBT population points to a substantial direct-service workforce, while the smaller BCBA pool may constrain supervision capacity as clinics expand. The credential categories are not mutually exclusive; the registry also reports 59 providers with multiple taxonomies, so classification totals should not be added together.

Workforce Demographics

Women account for 163 providers, or 81% of the reported workforce. Men account for 31 providers, or 15%, and nonbinary providers account for 8 providers, or 4%. OPUS MENTAL HEALTH CENTER LLC and DE CARDENAS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES INC. each appear twice in the organization records. Miami is the leading city with 79 providers, followed by Stuart with 22 providers, Hialeah with 13 providers, Boca Raton with 12 providers and Homestead with 8 providers. Overall, the update suggests South Florida’s ABA access is growing, but sustained expansion will depend on matching its RBT growth with additional BCBA supervision capacity.
