Orly Avidor

Orly Avidor is an active, engaging therapist who builds strong therapeutic partnerships using humor, thoughtfulness and genuine directness. She approaches each relationship with an emphasis on collaboration and practical support, helping people face difficult choices with greater strength and confidence.

She believes individuals can move beyond their current struggles to find acceptance and self-compassion - a place where they feel safe and able to pursue the next stage of their lives. Orly acknowledges how difficult it can be to ask for help and encourages clients to accept the journey of tending to their own needs; she considers it an honor to be part of that process.

As a generalist with a spiritual edge, Orly has helped many clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, addiction, obsessive-compulsive concerns and work-related difficulties. Her work with people from a variety of backgrounds, cultures and ages has given her a broad perspective on the pressures of today’s fast-paced world.

Based in Illinois, Orly brings 25 years of clinical experience and holds clinical social work licenses in both New Jersey and Illinois. If they choose to work with her, clients can expect a compassionate ally who will explore their unique emotional makeup, help them think through real and perceived barriers, and assist in turning inner motivation into a concrete, pragmatic action plan.
