Virginia registered 213 behavioral health providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, accounting for 2% of the national total. This consistent activity indicates a steady demand for behavioral health services and a growing professional landscape within the state.

ABA Workforce Composition

Within the applied behavior analysis (ABA) sector, the data shows 19 BCBA credentials and 48 RBT credentials. It is important to note that these figures are not mutually exclusive, as 4 individuals hold both BCBA and RBT credentials. This dual credentialing often signifies career progression from direct service delivery to supervisory roles. The ratio of approximately 2.5 RBTs per BCBA suggests a moderate supervisory capacity, which is crucial for maintaining service quality and expanding access to ABA therapy.

Provider Demographics

Of the 166 individual providers, 81% are female (135 individuals), 14% are male (23 individuals), and 5% identify as nonbinary (8 individuals). This gender distribution is largely consistent with broader trends in the behavioral health workforce. Among organizations, River City Comprehensive Counseling Services, LLC appeared 2 times, indicating its presence in the state's behavioral health landscape.

The ongoing enrollment of providers, particularly within the ABA and counseling fields, highlights Virginia's efforts to expand its behavioral health workforce and address the evolving needs of its population.
