Cognitive Training and Skill Building: Strengthening Skills for Learning and Everyday Success

Cognitive Training and Skill Building

Whole Mind Psychological Services provides personalized cognitive training to help students strengthen the foundational thinking skills needed for learning, problem-solving, and everyday functioning. Our supportive approach helps children understand how they process information while giving families practical strategies to support growth at home and in school.

Cognitive Training and Skill Building can help with:
Difficulty staying focused, remembering information, or following multi-step directions
Challenges with processing information quickly and responding effectively
Trouble with problem-solving, reasoning, or learning new concepts
Weak working memory that affects schoolwork, routines, or task completion

We work closely with students and families to identify the cognitive skills that need extra support and create an individualized plan that meets each child where they are. Training may focus on attention, memory, processing speed, problem-solving, reasoning, visual-spatial skills, flexible thinking, and self-monitoring.
Our goal is not just to help students perform better in school, but to help them become more confident and independent learners. With consistent guidance, engaging activities, and the right strategies, children can strengthen the cognitive skills that support success in the classroom, at home, and beyond.

What Our Clients Say

Our daughter was a high-performing and engaged student, but was challenged with standard classroom environments and ways of learning. The assessment process was incredibly thorough, supportive, and empowering, and the recommendations translated directly into practical classroom strategies. Today, our daughter is thriving with confidence and a love of learning at college!

Rhonda M.

It was a pleasure working with Michelle. She was professional and diligent in meeting the needs of our schools. Michelle hit the road running and was instrumental in ensuring that our schools remained compliant with state and federal regulations. Her services are highly recommended, and I hope I get the chance to work with her in the future.

Colleague

What sets Michelle apart is how she presents complex findings in a way that families truly understand. I’ve sat in meetings where parents arrived anxious and overwhelmed, and left feeling informed, reassured, and empowered. She has a rare ability to balance clinical depth with warmth and clarity.
