Orka Health and Wellness was founded by two sisters; Alexis Bennett and Leah Pillsbury.

After dreaming and talking about going into the therapy business together, Bennett and Pillsbury—both licensed independent clinical social workers (LICSW)—launched the virtual based Orka Health and Wellness in September 2021 in response to the growing need for access to teletherapy. Orka has five LICSW therapists specialized in many areas—from supporting people with special needs (specifically autism and Down syndrome) and chronic illness to helping process grief and loss, offering perinatal and postpartum support, and supporting caregivers and medical professionals. Through therapy, they also support those dealing with anxiety, depression, social anxiety, perfectionism and burnout.  Their offerings go beyond therapy, as well. One of the psychologists on staff offers ADD/ADHD testing. And a registered dietician practices virtual nutrition coaching and wellness for high-risk children, pregnant and postpartum moms, breastfeeding education and support, cooking for toddlers or tackling picky eaters, helping families create healthy meals and incorporating kids into the kitchen. Orka wants to help support individuals and families find and have the energy to “Do Something!”
