Orna Guralnik
Orna Guralnik (born 1964) [1] is a Jewish American-Israeli psychologist and psychoanalyst best known for her role in the TV series Couples Therapy.[2][3][4][5][6]
Early life
Guralnik is the daughter of Nehama and Daniel Guralnik, who worked together at the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C.. When Guralnik was two, her father, an aeronautical engineer, received a job offer and the family moved to Atlanta for five years before moving again to Tel Aviv when she was seven.[1][7][8][9] She describes her parents as identifying with a secular, Socialist and Zionist identity.[10]
Guralnik remembers the conflict in her parents’ marriage as being very influential on her. Her mother had found success working at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, and Guralnik notes how the marriage went "through a rearrangement of a very patriarchal understanding of their marriage to a more feminist one".[1]
At the age of sixteen, Guralnik began to act out, and her parents negotiated with her to see a therapist.[1]
Before pursuing psychology, she had interests in dance, studying under Rina Schenfeld, and also studied film at Tel Aviv University.[8][10] Eventually, in 1990, she moved to New York City and began studying Psychology at Yeshiva University.[1]
Career
She has published on a range of subjects including Depersonalization and Self-harm.[11] She helped found a centre for studying depersonalization and dissociation at Mount Sinai Medical School.[2]
She describes her approach to couples therapy as drawing from Systems theory, which sees the relationship as an interconnected entity rather than two separate individuals.[8]
In 2019, she was asked by Josh Kriegman, Elyse Steinberg and Eli Despres to act as the couples therapist for Showtime's Couples Therapy alongside her supervisor, Virginia Goldner.[12] For this role, she was nominated for Female Star of the Year in the 2nd Critics' Choice Real TV Awards.[13] Each series is filmed over 20 weeks, which she completes alongside her psychoanalytic practice.[14] In 2021, she appeared in an advert for Userway.[15][16]
Personal life
Guralnik is a mother to two children, Jasper and Ruby.[17] She has an Alaskan Klee Kai named Nico.[18]
