Wyoming added 10 behavioral health providers in the latest weekly CMS update, accounting for 0% of the national total. This small number, with all 10 providers new this week, suggests a very limited or highly specialized behavioral health market in the state, reflecting its low population density and potentially nascent service infrastructure.
ABA Workforce Composition
Within the applied behavior analysis field, the update shows no new Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) or Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) in Wyoming this week, nor any individuals holding dual BCBA+RBT credentials. This indicates a complete absence of new ABA-specific professionals entering the state's workforce in this period. The few specific credentials listed among the new providers include 1 CMHW, 1 PCSW, and 1 B.S. PSYCHOLOGY, pointing to a focus on broader mental health and counseling roles.
Provider Demographics
Of the 10 new providers, 9 are individuals and 1 is an organization, Teton Crest Counseling. The individual workforce is entirely female, with 9 female providers accounting for 100% of the individual additions. No organizations appeared multiple times in this week's data, suggesting a distributed entry of new entities rather than expansion by existing multi-state chains.
The complete absence of new BCBA and RBT professionals in this update highlights a critical gap in the growth of ABA service capacity in Wyoming, indicating a significant challenge for access to this specific therapy.
