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 – Annual, all-inclusive vacation for two, early wage access, a company car or mileage reimbursement, and full benefits.

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.
