About The Organization

The Colorado Psychological Association (CPA) advances the profession of psychology through advocacy and education for the promotion of psychological health and well-being.

Founded on October 23, 1946, CPA aims to represent all sectors and specialty areas within the field of psychology. Membership and participation in CPA is one way Colorado psychologists demonstrate their commitment to psychology as a vital profession of the highest standards.

CPA has hundreds of active members throughout Colorado. Thanks to the diversity of our members, CPA is able to respond to the mental health needs of Colorado's citizens. When you join CPA, you become a part of statewide and national efforts to increase public knowledge of the unique qualifications and expertise of psychologists, and to advocate for psychology and mental health.

Many people need the support of a psychologist at some point in their life. Psychologists help individuals, couples, families, and organizations confront a variety of problems such as stress, chronic illnesses, trauma, learning difficulties, child and elder abuse, brain injuries, mental illness, unhealthy workplaces, family discord and divorce, and forensic evaluations.

The Colorado Psychological Association verifies our members' credentials and good standing with the Colorado Department of Regulatory Affairs. CPA members are trained in treating a variety of different populations.

The Board of Directors of CPA would like to be clear that we welcome people of all faiths and religious backgrounds inclusive of race, ethnicity, national origin, and immigration status. Additionally, we remain committed to upholding the APA Ethical Guidelines which make clear we must advocate for and protect the civil rights of others. We are steadfast in our commitment to standing with and as people; people of all races, ethnicities, immigration statuses, religions, genders, sexual orientations, socioeconomic statuses, ages, education levels, abilities, and sizes. You are welcome here.
