Virginia recorded 205 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 2% of the national weekly total. The registry added 99 new providers this week, bringing the year-to-date increase to 121 providers. That concentration places Virginia among the more active states in the weekly update and points to a sizable, expanding behavioral health market for independent practices and larger provider organizations.

ABA Workforce Mix

Credential data lists 20 BCBA credentials and 50 RBT credentials, including 3 dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These categories overlap and are not mutually exclusive shares of Virginia’s provider total: the registry can record multiple credentials or taxonomies for one provider, and the broader count includes counselors, social workers, speech-language pathologists and other professionals. Still, the RBT-to-BCBA pattern shows a larger direct-service workforce than supervisory workforce. Because BCBAs oversee RBTs and direct assessment and treatment planning, the mix may constrain how quickly clinics can convert additional technician capacity into billable, supervised care.

Demographics and Provider Activity

The update identifies 158 individuals and 47 organizations. Among providers with reported gender data, 121 are female, 30 are male and 7 are nonbinary, corresponding to 77%, 19% and 4%. Richmond, Virginia Beach, Alexandria, Chesapeake and Newport News lead the listed city activity. Consulting & Community Resources LLC appears twice in the notable-organizations field, reflecting multiple registry entries rather than necessarily two separate organizations.

Virginia’s broad behavioral health activity, rapid weekly additions and technician-heavy ABA mix suggest access is expanding, while the comparatively smaller BCBA pool makes supervision capacity a continuing workforce pressure.
