While CPA therapists are experts in treatment, we also strongly believe that no single part of the criminal justice system will be effective in its mission unless there is excellent communication between treatment providers and supervising agents. We make every effort to keep referring parties informed of the client’s progress in treatment while maintaining confidentiality. We encourage professionals to call with questions or concerns at any time. 

CPA does not provide time limited treatment (as criminal justice clients are often quite skilled at “doing time” when mandated). Rather, clients progress in treatment based on their engagement in the therapy process and progress on their individual treatment goals.

Changes in treatment are always a team decision between the supervising agent, the therapist and the client. No individual successfully completes treatment until all three parties agree that it is the most appropriate treatment decision based on the client’s individual history, treatment progress, and current situation. If there are changes in the client’s status, life circumstances, behavior and attitudes observed by the supervising agent and/or the treatment provider may result in revised treatment plans that address their identified needs.

The collaborative relationship between the treatment provider and the supervising agent ensures that clients are not over treated, under treated, or given treatment that is not focused on criminogenic factors.
