Lara Ngu

I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate the complexities of life. Areas of particular interest include fertility, perinatal mental health, early parenthood, inner child work, interpersonal skills, as well as healing from toxic relationship dynamics, including narcissistic abuse. I focus on moving clients from reactive patterns into a more conscious, empowered way of relating to themselves and others.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and obtained my Masters in Counseling at Northwestern University.

My approach is integrative and relational, blending the wisdoms of Relational Life Therapy (RLT), Psychodynamic Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Gottman Method. I am an approved Gottman Connect provider and include the research-based Gottman Relationship Checkup in my assessment with couples.

What can you expect from working with me? You will find a non-judgmental and empathetic environment where you can safely explore your emotions and experiences, allowing you to connect, grow, and thrive. I am currently accepting new clients – please reach out to get started or if you have any questions.
