Pennsylvania's behavioral health sector registered **182 providers** in the latest CMS NPI update, representing **2%** of the national total. This cohort includes **149 individuals** and **33 organizations**, indicating steady workforce activity across the Keystone State.
ABA Credential Mix
Among the new individual providers, ABA-specific credentials included **18 Registered Behavior Technicians** (RBTs) and **13 Board Certified Behavior Analysts** (BCBAs). The resulting ratio of approximately 1.4 RBTs for every BCBA suggests very close supervision capacity. The data also identified **1 provider** holding dual BCBA and RBT credentials, a marker of career progression. These counts are not mutually exclusive, as **35 providers** listed multiple taxonomies. The update also included a notable number of Licensed Professional Counselors (**12 providers**) and Licensed Clinical Social Workers (**10 providers**).
Provider Demographics
The individual provider workforce is predominantly female, with women accounting for **79%** of the group. Men comprised **16%** of new providers, and **5%** identified as nonbinary. On the organizational side, West Philadelphia Community MH Consortium, Inc. was a notable presence, appearing multiple times in the weekly data under slight name variations.
This tight ratio of new RBTs to BCBAs could indicate a stable, well-supervised workforce, but may also point to a need for more direct-care staff to expand access to ABA services across the state.
