Texas continues to be a significant hub for behavioral health activity, with a total of 539 providers listed in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update. This figure represents 5% of the national weekly total, signaling Texas's consistent and substantial contribution to the behavioral health workforce, likely driven by its large and growing population.

Credential Mix and Supervision Capacity

Among individual providers, the data shows 49 professionals holding BCBA credentials and 124 individuals with RBT credentials. It is important to note that these counts are not mutually exclusive, as 5 individuals possess both BCBA and RBT credentials, indicating a career progression or specialized role. The ratio of RBTs to BCBAs, approximately 2.53 to 1, suggests a relatively balanced supervision capacity within the state, which is crucial for maintaining quality and accessibility of ABA services.

Workforce Demographics and Organizational Presence

The workforce demographics reveal a predominantly female composition, with 346 female providers making up 81% of individual registrants. In contrast, 60 male providers account for 14%, and 19 providers identify as nonbinary (4%). Notably, Hoover's Revived Health LLC and Together We Heal LLC each appeared twice, suggesting their active and expanding presence in the state. Furthermore, 120 providers hold multiple taxonomies, indicating a diverse range of specializations and comprehensive service offerings.

This data collectively points to a robust and diverse behavioral health workforce in Texas, with a solid foundation for expanding access to ABA and other crucial mental health services across the state.
