About

Oslo, Norway | English-speaking therapy for individuals & couples 

Inga Gentile is a licensed Norwegian clinical psychologist and a California-licensed MFT offering in person and online therapy and coaching for individuals and couples in Norway, California, and across Europe. Based in Oslo, she provides English-speaking therapy tailored to the needs of expatriates, bicultural couples, and globally mobile professionals. She draws from over two decades of experience in both the U.S. (including California) and Norway. 

She specializes in working with individuals and couples navigating emotional stress, unresolved trauma, loneliness, relationship challenges, interpersonal distress and the deeper work of healing and growth. 

As the only certified PACT therapist in Norway, Inga brings a unique perspective to couples therapy. PACT — the Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy — is an integrative, science-based model that combines neuroscience, attachment theory, and nervous system regulation. It helps partners shift from conflict and reactivity into connection and security. Inga not only practices cutting edge therapy; she has a long affiliation with the PACT Institute in Los Angeles and has trained therapists in the US, Canada, the UK and Europe. Among her current teaching endeavors is teaching couples therapy approaches in a national education program for family psychologists in Norway. (https://www.thepactinstitute.com/) 

Clients often come to her during times of transition, emotional overload, grief or relational strain. She works with people from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, including many expatriates and bicultural couples adjusting to life in Norway. She’s a native English speaker and sessions are offered in both English and Norwegian. 

Her work is informed by over 20 years of clinical experience in hospital settings, public mental health centers and private practice clinics in the USA and Norway. She holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology (with a focus on multicultural perspectives) and a BA in Sociology centered on gender, race, and ethnicity. 

Inga’s approach is grounded, collaborative, at times directive and deeply respectful. She believes that therapy isn’t just about symptom relief — it’s about understanding and shaping your own story, learning how to be in nourishing and mutually supportive relationships with others, how to regulate your nervous system and actively creating space for change. We can’t go back to the past, but we can change how the past informs our current perceptions, behaviors and outcomes in the present. Whether she’s working with a couple or relationship structure in distress or an individual struggling with trauma or identity, her goal is to support change that takes root and grows into relationships, families, and everyday life. 

She is also trained in EMDR™ (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), clinical hypnotherapy and draws from somatic-based methods to support emotional integration and body-mind healing. 

Beyond her clinical work, Inga is a passionate advocate for mental health education and access. She regularly teaches, mentors other therapists, and contributes to community conversations about what good mental health care should look like — not only for individuals, but for the systems and relationships in which they live.
