Elaine Lara, B.A.

I began my work in neurobehavioral therapy in April of 2022 with Dr. Labkovsky as an intern at AFG Guidance Center. My interest in the field grew after taking a neuropsychology course at Northwestern University where I had the opportunity to witness a live demonstration of an electroencephalogram (EEG) assessment. I took a particular interest in EEG and neurofeedback and worked closely with Dr. Labkovsky through an independent study aimed to enhance my knowledge and experience.

Neurobehavioral Therapy (NBT) caught my attention because of its focus on the relationship between the brain and behavior. NBT aims to change the way an individual’s brain functions to effectively improve symptoms of psychological conditions. Every person is unique and requires an individualized treatment plan. Not only is NBT proven to be effective, but it offers individuals a medication and talk free approach, further expanding treatment options. I am dedicated to continuing to be a part of this innovative approach to treating psychological disorders and conditions.

I graduated from Northwestern University with a B.A. in Psychology and am thrilled to be working at AFG before pursuing a PhD in neuropsychology. My clinical experience, extensive training, and attention to detail enable me to provide quality and tailored care to my clients through a supportive and compassionate approach.
