Attention & Focus Issues

---

We utilize Cogmed Working Memory Training. Cogmed is a digital therapeutics program created by neuroscientists. Cogmed works by specifically targeting the area of working memory. This program has helped individuals who experience challenges in the areas of inattention and focus. Sometimes our clients are diagnosed with ADHD, cognitive impairment, or brain injury, including concussions. Other times, our clients do not have a diagnosis, but simply want to improve focus and concentration.

Our coaching philosophy is to use a strength based approach to increase executive functioning skills. This means we help our clients to draw upon their unique set of strengths and skills to work on areas of difficulty. We believe that our clients have the ability to make changes that will improve their quality of life.

Cogmed includes 6 weeks of computerized training targeting working memory. This training can be completed from the comfort of your own home. We work with both adults and children (typically middle school and up).

The goals of this training are to:  

• Increase focus and concentration
• Increase impulse control
• Improve ability to persist during non-preferred tasks
• Boost concentration during challenging assignments

Our program also includes executive function coaching. The coaching areas are based on the individual needs of the client. Mindfulness strategies are incorporated to practice pausing and taking in information before responding. 

Coaching topics may include:

• Mindfulness skills
• Organization habits
• Time management
• Self esteem
• Communication skills
