Virginia recorded 158 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 2% of the national weekly total. The registry added 82 providers this week and 95 this year, including 129 individuals and 29 organizations. That concentration signals an active behavioral health market, although NPI activity reflects registry records rather than confirmed staffing, caseloads or appointment availability. The update’s leading cities are Richmond, Virginia Beach, Alexandria, Fredericksburg and Norfolk.
ABA Workforce Mix
The credential summary lists 11 BCBAs and 35 RBTs, with no dual BCBA-RBT credentials reported. These credential categories are not necessarily mutually exclusive with other taxonomy or credential fields; the registry includes overlapping classifications, so the counts should not be read as shares of the full provider population. The RBT-to-BCBA relationship points to a technician-heavy ABA workforce, with more direct-service capacity than documented supervisory capacity. BCBAs remain essential for assessment, treatment planning, supervision and quality oversight, making the comparatively smaller BCBA pool a potential constraint as technician capacity grows. The update also identifies 31 providers with multiple taxonomies, reinforcing that individual records can represent overlapping roles.
Demographics and Organizations
Virginia’s provider records are predominantly female: 108 providers, or 84%, are female. The registry lists 13 male providers, or 10%, and 8 nonbinary providers, or 6%. No notable organizations appear multiple times in the supplied update; the data instead lists 29 organizations across varied behavioral health, counseling, clinical social work and ABA-related taxonomies. The broader credential mix includes 12 LCSWs and 11 LPCs, alongside the ABA credentials, showing that this weekly registry captures behavioral health activity beyond ABA alone.
Virginia’s update suggests expanding behavioral health participation but a limited documented BCBA supervisory base that could affect ABA access as technician capacity develops.
