Commonwealth Psychology Associates (CPA) is dedicated not only to serving our clients and community, but also to preserving our planet and natural resources. We are a green company and we take steps to conserve energy and resources whenever possible. Our efforts have been successful and in the past 3 years (2009-2011), we:

  • Recycled 1465 pounds of plastic, glass and aluminum (otherwise bound for a landfill)
