Hi, I'm Orly Krupkin, LCSW, and I'm glad you're here. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I'm glad you've reached out. I work with adults navigating life transitions, stress and anxiety, grief and loss, caregiver challenges, midlife concerns, and relationship issues, including establishing healthy boundaries and building more fulfilling connections. My style is warm, collaborative, and supportive. I draw from evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we'll explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop practical tools to help you create meaningful and lasting change. I strive to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Whatever challenges you're facing, you don't have to navigate them alone.
Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. I'll ask questions to better understand what has been going on in your life, what brought you to therapy, and what you hope to gain from the process. There is no pressure to share everything right away, we'll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My goal is to create an environment where you feel safe being yourself and supported as we begin working together.
Clients often tell me they feel comfortable and connected from the start. I work to create a welcoming and supportive space where you can speak openly and honestly about your experiences. I believe therapy should be tailored to the individual. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I listen carefully and adapt our work to meet your unique needs, goals, and pace.
I support adults experiencing anxiety and stress, helping them navigate uncertainty with practical strategies while building a more balanced and fulfilling life. I am especially passionate about supporting individuals who are grieving the loss of a loved one. Grief is a deeply personal experience, and I offer a compassionate space where you can process your loss, make sense of difficult emotions, and adjust to life after loss in your own way and at your own pace. I also work with adults navigating major life transitions, including retirement, career changes, caregiving responsibilities, and other periods of personal growth and adjustment. Together, we can explore questions of purpose, identity, and direction while strengthening communication and maintaining meaningful relationships. Above all, I work best with clients who are ready to engage in the therapeutic process, those who are open to self exploration, motivated to grow, and willing to take an active role in creating meaningful change.
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Is a practical, evidence-based approach that helps people understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. When we feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck, unhelpful thought patterns and habits can often keep us trapped in cycles that are difficult to break. Using CBT, we'll identify patterns that may no longer be serving you and work together to challenge self-critical, negative, or unrealistic thoughts. We'll develop practical skills and manageable steps that can help you respond to life's challenges more effectively. Therapy is not about changing who you are. It's about gaining insight, developing new coping strategies, increasing self-awareness, and building confidence in your ability to navigate life's challenges with greater clarity and intention.

Orly was kind, supportive, and understanding. She's easy to talk to... like talking to an old friend. I look forward to working with her.

My first time back in therapy in 8 years. She really lets you talk and doesn’t make you feel overwhelmed with all the changes you may need to overcome.She feels very comfortable to talk to and non judgmental. I look forward to working with her and becoming a better version of myself.
