Cogmed is a computerized training program to improve your working memory. People of all ages can benefit from Cogmed, but the cause of their poor working memory varies.
Many mental health problems are associated with a poor working memory. A concussion, age-related cognitive decline, or simply feeling you can’t concentrate the way you should are all possible reasons to use Attention & Focus Training.
Your brain continues to reorganize and change throughout your life. The same concept, called neuroplasticity, also applies to working memory: You can improve it at any age with intensive training.
Your working memory gives you the ability to hold several pieces of information in your brain. This ability allows you to use the information to solve a problem, plan a task, drive safely, or follow a conversation.
Everyone has a different working memory capacity. Some people can hold seven pieces of information in their working memory, while others may only hold two or three. Boosting your working memory improves your overall cognitive function and generalizes to other aspects of your behavior.
As your working memory capacity improves, you’ll find it easier to learn, pay attention, self-manage, and resist distractions.
Cogmed uses a coaching approach so you have ongoing support and encouragement throughout your training. Your Cogmed qualified coach from Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic works closely with you, providing structure, motivation, and feedback on your progress.
You’ll have 25 training sessions that are 30-45 minutes long. While your schedule may vary, five sessions over five weeks provides the comprehensive training you need.
To achieve optimal results, your program must present a rigorous and systematic challenge. Based on your performance, your coach adjusts the difficulty level of your software in real time. By fine-tuning your program, your training always pushes the edge of your cognitive capacity.
Your program includes:
You’ll also have a follow-up interview six months after completing your training.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our service received today on our initial sessions preparation call was excellent. Julia did a first-class, thorough and helpful job. We were very appreciative of her knowledge and helpful approach. Donovan Byrd2024-06-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lemme just put in the review first YET i have not particiapted with their activities with Abbey. I would love to participate but just want to genuinely ask how do people afford this without insurance (500+ per therapy sessinon and ~7k evaluation) on a regular basis. Or are there any other ways that can compensate the fees. Any insights are greatly appreciated! Cancy Han2023-10-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm a successful startup founder but in the last 20 years I've spent over $250k on doctors, psychiatrists, therapists, dual-diagnosis clinics, and even crazy stuff like IV-ketamine therapy to figure out "what is wrong with my brain". The Abbey Clinic gave me the answers; now they're providing my therapy. I have yet to find a comparable clinic in the Bay Area. For me, they were truly a lifesaver. Shout-out to Dr Korsmo, Dr Barrett, Jordann, and Andrew. 🙏 Pete Curley2023-01-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Reports show tremendous improvements in simple attention, complex attention, executive functioning, cognitive flexibility and tremendous improvement in alpha and beta waves control after 6 months. We saw immediate improvement in communication after the first month. Later on, we saw improvement in attention and executive functioning. The team we are working with at Abbey clinic is professional, friendly and supportive. Special thanks to Andrew Moses who conducts the Bi-weekly sessions. He is very nice and friendly. We would also like to thank Rachel and Paula who meet with us to discuss and explain the reports, results and future plans.

Rachael Little2022-12-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I feel that my experience with Abby has been excellent. The price is very very high and insurance usually does not cover it but it is definitely worth it if you have a lot of money to spare. I feel almost like a completely different person now, more focused, less anxious, and more relaxed. H S2022-12-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were fortunate to hear about Abbey Clinic from our neighbor. I had no idea how to find a therapist. Both my kids are pretty regular learners and didn't really need much support outside of school, but when my teenager's life went completely sideways junior year from a brain injury, the biggest help were the sessions with Rachael Little. The sessions taught him coping skills and methods to approach life. He is doing so well in college and still uses the things he learned with Rachael. Thank you! Greta Kim2022-05-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. All 5 members of my family have been served by Abbey Clinic - it's that good. We started with one kid as a test, and then continued on through the whole family because the experience with the first was so great. The report and insights given from the testing of my 3 kids has been hugely beneficial to their school and social lives. My daughter did brain training to help with her ADHD. We saw noticeable improvement. The same teenage daughter has made wonderful progress with her anxiety by meeting with Dr. Stephanie Abbey for psychotherapy. Personally, I met with Rachael for psychotherapy to help with my Autism. It was the kind of thing where I knew I needed to do it, and my wife encouraged me, but I wasn't very excited and definitely a little nervous about embarking into psychotherapy. Now looking back, I am THRILLED with the outcome. Rachael equipped me with frameworks and tools to make my life (and those around me) SOO much better. Our family is incredibly grateful for our interactions with Abbey Clinic. Strongly recommend! Stefan Lusvardi2022-05-26
