Charlotte's behavioral health sector saw 11 new providers in the latest CMS update, all registered this week and this year. This total includes 5 individual practitioners and 6 organizations. While representing 0% of the national weekly total, this initial activity marks a foundational expansion in the area.
ABA Credential Breakdown
Within the ABA-specific credentials, the data shows 1 provider with a BCBA taxonomy, which is an organization, alongside 2 RBTs, both individual practitioners. There are no providers holding dual BCBA and RBT credentials. The presence of an organizational BCBA taxonomy suggests a framework for supervision, although a direct individual BCBA-to-RBT ratio for supervision capacity is not immediately clear from these specific counts.
Workforce Demographics
The individual provider workforce in Charlotte is predominantly female, with 4 female providers making up 80% of the total, compared to 1 male provider. The update did not show any organizations appearing multiple times. Beyond ABA, the new registrations include 1 CCC-SLP, 1 LCSWA, and 1 MS, LCMHCA, NCC, indicating a broader range of behavioral health specializations.
This initial set of new registrations points to a developing behavioral health landscape in Charlotte, with a mix of individual practitioners and organizations contributing to the local service capacity.
