New Hampshire's behavioral health sector registered 32 providers in the latest NPI update, a figure representing less than 1% of the national total. The group is comprised of 25 individuals and 7 organizations, with new provider activity centered in cities like Manchester and Portsmouth.
ABA Workforce Composition
The update shows a notable focus on supervisory roles within the ABA field. Based on taxonomy classifications, the cohort includes 4 Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and only 1 Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). This inverted ratio of supervisors to technicians is unusual and suggests a build-up of clinical leadership. One provider's "MA, BCBA, LABA" credential underscores the importance of state-level licensure in New Hampshire. It is also worth noting that 6 providers registered with multiple taxonomies, indicating some may offer a diverse range of services.
Workforce Demographics
The gender breakdown of individual providers is heavily skewed, with women representing 84% of the new registrants. Male and nonbinary providers each made up 8%. No single organization, including the large private equity-backed chains, had a recurring presence in this week's update. This week's data points toward an expansion of supervisory infrastructure, which could be a precursor to hiring more direct-care staff in the near future.
