Virginia added 115 behavioral health providers in the latest weekly CMS NPI registry update, representing 2% of the national total. This consistent contribution indicates a steady growth in the state's behavioral health workforce, signaling ongoing demand and expansion in service capacity. Of these, 82 were individual providers and 33 were organizations.
ABA Workforce Composition
Within the applied behavior analysis (ABA) field, the update includes 37 Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and 5 Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). It is important to note that these counts reflect primary credentials or taxonomies and are not mutually exclusive. No individuals were identified with both BCBA and RBT credentials in this week's data. The ratio of RBTs to BCBAs, roughly 7-to-1, suggests a strong base of direct service providers, but highlights the critical need for BCBA supervisors to support this growing RBT workforce.
Provider Demographics
Among the 82 individual providers, the workforce is predominantly female, with women accounting for 76%. Male providers comprise 16%, and 9% identify as nonbinary. On the organizational front, INFINEDE LLC DBA INFINEDE THERAPY SERVICES appeared twice, indicating its expansion or multiple service locations within the state.
This data suggests Virginia is actively expanding its behavioral health capacity, particularly in direct ABA service roles, but continued focus on BCBA certification will be crucial for sustainable growth and quality supervision.
