Orly Krupkin
Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, stress, grief, or unexpected changes leave you unsure of what comes next. Maybe you’re overthinking, feeling emotionally drained, coping with the loss of someone you love, or simply feeling unlike yourself. Hi, I’m Orly Krupkin. I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, grief and loss, relationship concerns, caregiving, and life transitions. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe to be yourself, speak openly, and feel genuinely heard. My approach is warm, compassionate, and person-centered, while incorporating evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness.
Together, we’ll explore the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be holding you back, and develop practical tools to create meaningful change.
Over the years, I’ve supported people in community, hospitals, and private practice, as well as specialized experience supporting hospice clients and their loved ones. This work has given me a deeper understanding of grief , loss, and emotional challenges that can come with significant changes in life, and what I’ve learned is that meaningful change starts when you feel truly heard. You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can begin where you are and take things one step at a time, creating space for greater clarity, self-understanding, and meaningful change.
First session
Our first session is an opportunity to get to know one another and discuss what brings you to therapy, the challenges you’re facing, and what you hope to gain from the process. There is no pressure to share everything at once, we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Strengths
Clients often share that they feel at ease speaking with me early in the therapeutic process. Many describe feeling understood without needing to over explain themselves, which can make it easier to talk about difficult or painful experiences. I aim to meet clients where they are and support them in approaching challenges with openness and self compassion, while also encouraging growth and insight over time.
Ideal clients
I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, grief, and the many changes that life can bring. You may be facing a transition in your relationships, career, family, or sense of identity, or simply find yourself questioning what comes next. Sometimes, life changes in ways we didn’t expect, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or disconnected from the person we once felt like. I have a special place in my practice for those who are grieving the loss of someone they love. Having space to grieve, without pressure to “move on” or have all the answers, can be an important part of healing. I offer a compassionate environment where you can talk openly about your loss, make sense of the emotions that come with it, and explore how to carry your loved one’s memory with you while finding your way through life after loss. I work best with clients who are open to self-exploration and ready to engage in the process of creating meaningful change. Whether you are working through a loss, adjusting to a new chapter, or simply trying to better understand yourself, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Therapy can be a place to slow down, feel understood, and find your footing again.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a structured, evidence-based approach that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It helps identify unhelpful patterns of thinking and develop more balanced ways of responding to difficult situations.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-based therapy focuses on developing greater awareness of thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations in the present moment. It encourages acceptance and nonjudgmental awareness, helping individuals respond to experiences with greater intention rather than reacting automatically.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person-centered therapy is a collaborative approach that recognizes you as the expert on your own experiences. It emphasizes empathy, authenticity, acceptance, and respect while creating a supportive environment for self-exploration and personal growth.
Grief Therapy
Grief therapy provides support for individuals coping with the emotional and personal impact of loss. It offers space to process grief, understand the changes that follow a loss, and find ways to adapt to life while maintaining a meaningful connection to what and whom you have lost.
