Wyoming added 5 new behavioral health providers this week, bringing its total to 16 providers. This represents 0% of the national weekly total for new providers, indicating a very small contribution to the national workforce and reflecting the state's sparse population and limited behavioral health infrastructure. These 5 new providers also account for all new additions in Wyoming this year, suggesting a slow but steady growth.
Workforce Credentials
The credential breakdown for Wyoming reveals significant gaps in the ABA workforce. There are no BCBAs reported, while 2 providers hold the RBT credential. This complete absence of BCBAs means there is no local capacity for BCBA supervision, which is critical for RBTs to practice effectively and for the delivery of high-quality ABA services. Beyond ABA, the state's individual providers hold diverse credentials including 1 LPC, 1 CSW, 1 SLP, 1 MSW, PCSW, 1 MS, LAT, 1 CASE MANAGER, and 1 MS, LPC, highlighting a broader range of behavioral health specializations.
Demographics and Organizational Landscape
Of the 12 individual providers, 8 (67%) are female and 4 (33%) are male. No organizations were noted as appearing multiple times in the data. Furthermore, 7 providers are listed with multiple taxonomies, suggesting they offer a broad range of services or hold diverse specializations. This data suggests an extremely limited and diverse behavioral health workforce in Wyoming, with a critical shortage of BCBAs necessary for the development and expansion of ABA services across the state.
