What Centria Offers

Early Intervention, Big Impact – Help shape a child’s future during the years when ABA therapy can make the most significant developmental difference.

Purpose-Built Centers – Our LSAA centers are thoughtfully designed for children 5 and under, with low-distraction spaces, play-based learning areas, and a strong emphasis on routines and safety.

Clinical Quality First – We prioritize outcomes, not billables. Our proprietary CareConnect platform streamlines everything from treatment planning to data collection so you can stay focused on care, not paperwork.

Assent-Based and Play-Focused – We blend Practical Functional Assessment and Skills-Based Treatment into a compassionate, assent-based model, centered around joyful, meaningful learning.

Real Work-Life Balance – Small caseloads, manageable schedules, and dedicated support teams mean no last-minute chaos and no burnout.

You're Never Alone – With layered support from Clinical Directors, Area Clinical Directors, and our Clinical Excellence Team, you'll always have someone in your corner.

No Operational Headaches – We handle the logistics. From scheduling to onboarding of technicians, our operations team keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

Career Growth on Your Terms – Whether you're mentoring the next generation of BCBAs, leading clinical training, or stepping into leadership, we support your growth.

We Invest in You – From CEU stipends and paid CEU days to exclusive internal training events, we’re serious about keeping you sharp—and helping you level up.

Perks That Actually Matter – Full benefits and an all-inclusive vacation for two! Beyond our full benefits and time-off packages, we invest directly in your mental wellness, financial health, and everyday lifestyle.

You’ll get access to preferred home financing rates with Rate, early wage payouts through Rain, debt repayment assistance through Ditch to tackle any debt, a confidential Employee Assistance Program (EAP), discounted childcare, and retail savings through BenefitHub—plus many more!

No Non-Compete – We don’t believe in holding people back. If we’re not the right long-term fit, you’ll still leave better prepared for your next step.
