Answer 1

Just if someone might need it as i did..

To only affect a single column you could use the 'ElementStyle' Property:

<DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding}">
    <DataGrid.Resources>
        <Style x:Key="DataGridVerticalText" TargetType="TextBlock">
            <Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Center" />
        </Style>
    </DataGrid.Resources>
    <DataGrid.Columns>
        <DataGridTextColumn Header="Header Title" Binding="{Binding}" ElementStyle="{StaticResource DataGridVerticalText}" />
    </DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>

Answer 2

To set individual text alignments you can use:

<DataGridTextColumn.ElementStyle>
   <Style TargetType="TextBlock">
       <Setter Property="TextAlignment" Value="Center" />
   </Style>
</DataGridTextColumn.ElementStyle>

Answer 3

The following code will vertically align the content of a DataGridTextColumn cell:

<DataGridTextColumn.ElementStyle>
    <Style TargetType="TextBlock">
        <Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Center"></Setter>
    </Style>
</DataGridTextColumn.ElementStyle>

Edit: I've come back to this problem and found the solution below to work better, it will center the contents of all the cells in DataGridTextRows both horizontally and vertically.

<UserControl.Resources>    
    <ResourceDictionary>
        <Style TargetType="DataGridCell">
            <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Stretch"></Setter>
            <Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Stretch"></Setter>
            <Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch"></Setter>
            <Setter Property="TextBlock.TextAlignment" Value="Center"></Setter>
            <Setter Property="TextBlock.VerticalAlignment" Value="Center"></Setter>
        </Style>    
    </ResourceDictionary>
</UserControl.Resources>
