ORNA GURALNIK

There is something unsettling about Orna Guralnik’s gaze, the way it probes and persists. As the star psychoanalyst of Showtime’s Couples Therapy, a show in which she administers therapy for the world to see, she faces couples on the brink—of divorce, a big decision, a new chapter—and helps them carve out a way forward. “Most couples therapies are around crises and helping unpack a certain pattern; it can become like a vortex,” she says in the season four finale. “I try to figure out what else is there. And that scares people.”
