What Couples Therapy is about

Couples Therapy is a documentary series that brings viewers into the authentic, weekly therapy sessions of real-life couples. Dr. Orna Guralnik helps participants confront their issues, expose raw feelings, and reach extraordinary breakthroughs as they put in the deep work that therapy entails. It’s emotional, it’s unfiltered, and it’s a show you don’t want to miss.

The therapist behind the show

Dr. Orna Guralnik, known as “Dr. Orna” by her patients, is the world-renowned psychologist and psychoanalyst behind Couples Therapy. She appears in all five seasons of the show.

Why people watch Couples Therapy

You should watch Couples Therapy because the critically acclaimed series gives keen insight into relationships, and it doesn’t shy away from the intense feelings that therapy unearths.

This documentary series is far more real than most “reality” TV. There is no dramatization involved; the show utilizes real couples with real relationship issues, and it’s this commitment to authenticity that makes Couples Therapy stand out. Season 4 saw a 30% surge in viewership, proving that Dr. Orna and the couples are continuing to reach new fans. So do yourself a favor, and tune in to the upcoming season (and catch up on past seasons if you’ve missed them).

What to expect in Season 5

Four new couples in crisis turn to Dr. Guralnik for help in Season 5. Over nine episodes, viewers witness one couple tackling political differences, one dealing with the aftermath of a surprising discovery, a pair whose relationship progress is derailed by a diagnosis, and teen sweethearts who worry that they’ve outgrown each other.

Expect plenty of tears, confrontations, and conflict resolution as the couples tackle their struggles head-on. Below, see the Season 5 trailer. It gives viewers a first look at a “really intense group of couples,” according to Dr. Guralnik.
