About Correctional Psychology Associates – CPA

Correctional Psychology Associates (CPA) specializes in forensic and addiction treatment for justice-involved clients across the Denver, Colorado area.

CPA offers outpatient substance use programming, forensic evaluations and co-occurring care guided by Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) principles.

The team’s mission centers on treatment that addresses criminogenic risk and recovery together, helping clients build lasting change beyond a single episode of care.

Justice-Involved Addiction Treatment

The center includes substance use services with weekly outpatient, enhanced outpatient and intensive outpatient programming.

Early intervention, relapse-focused groups, anger and addictions work and individual therapy complete the continuum for clients on probation, parole or community corrections.

Treatment offers techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, DBT, Seeking Safety, Moral Reconation Therapy and Thinking for a Change.

Sessions combine structured clinical interviews, collateral record review and individualized planning to address both substance use and the underlying thinking patterns that drive criminal-legal involvement.

Forensic Evaluations and Specialized Programming

Along with extensive addiction care, CPA conducts criminogenic, mental health, domestic violence and psychopathy evaluations, with referral for psychiatric medication management when needed.

Specialized tracks serve male, female and LGBTQ+ domestic violence clients, alongside criminal thinking, parenting, and anger management curricula.

The ARCHES residential dual-diagnosis program supports men and women within a community corrections setting.
