Where better matches — and better stories — begin for those who are swiped out!
Matchmaking by Dr. Lida, founded by Dr. Lida, PhD, LPC, CST and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, specializes in working with driven, self-aware individuals who are ready to invest in meaningful, lasting romantic connections.
Noah R., Bethesda, MD
“As an introvert, dating always felt like performance — exhausting and overwhelming. Dr. Lida’s approach made it feel different. She created space for me to be myself, without pressure. The conversations we had helped me understand what I actually needed in a partner, not what I thought I should want. For the first time, dating felt intentional… and surprisingly calm.”
Leila S., Arlington, VA
“Before working with Dr. Lida, I was great at talking about my career… but totally tongue-tied when it came to what I actually wanted in love. She helped me find the words for my authentic self — not the curated version — and showed me how to look for that in a partner. Turns out, clarity is kinda sexy.”
