Ways to Work With Dr. Lida

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.”
