Working Memory Training
Cogmed Working Memory Training is an evidence-based training program developed by leading neuroscientists to improve attention in individuals with weak working memory. Working memory is the ability to keep information in your mind for a short time, focus on a task, and remember what to do next. By training your working memory, you will be better able to stay focused, ignore distractions, plan next steps, remember instructions, and start and finish tasks. Weak working memory is experienced as attention problems and causes poor academic and professional performance. View Brochure

Adolescent Issues & Therapy
Adolescence & the teen years are some of the most rewarding & challenging of times for families, and require a very particular expertise. The clinician must not only be able to relate to the teenager's ever-changing world, but also be able to negotiate it within the context of family rules and dynamics. Often these demands appear to be opposed, yet with a careful treatment approach, trust with the adolescent can be established while being consistent with respecting family rules & values. Whether dealing with normative but difficult teen issues or more serious mental heath issues, Centra's experienced clinicians can provide an accurate assessment along with solution focused treatment.
