Virginia recorded 170 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, equal to 2% of the national weekly total. With 84 new providers added this week and 94 new this year, the state’s activity signals a sizable, continuing expansion of behavioral health capacity, although the registry includes both behavioral health and adjacent clinical disciplines.

ABA Workforce Mix

The registry lists 9 BCBA credentials and 28 RBT credentials, plus 1 dual credential combining BCBA and RBT. These categories overlap with broader taxonomy and credential fields, so they should not be treated as mutually exclusive shares. The RBT-to-BCBA balance points to a larger direct-service workforce than supervisory workforce. Because BCBAs design treatment and supervise RBTs, the comparatively smaller BCBA pool may constrain how quickly Virginia can deploy or expand ABA services.

Demographics and Provider Base

Virginia’s registry entries include 133 individuals and 37 organizations. Gender data show 109 female providers, representing 82%, alongside 19 male providers at 14% and 5 nonbinary providers at 4%. No notable organization appears multiple times in the supplied update. The state’s leading listed cities are Virginia Beach, Richmond, Fairfax, Newport News and Alexandria, indicating activity across several major population centers rather than a single market.

Virginia’s mix of RBT growth, limited BCBA supply and broad provider activity suggests expanding ABA access will depend on adding supervisory capacity alongside entry-level practitioners.
