Finding a genuine connection in today’s world can feel overwhelming — but it doesn’t have to.
After more than a decade working as a licensed therapist specializing in relationships, self-understanding, and authenticity, Dr. Lida realized something: too many thoughtful, accomplished people were struggling to find partners who truly fit their lives and hearts.
With this in mind, Matchmaking by Dr. Lida was launched.
What led me into the world of matchmaking? Honestly… years of hearing the behind-the-scenes chaos of modern dating from my seat as a Relationship and Sex Therapist. I’ve spent over 15 years in the front row—listening to dating app disasters, emotional plot twists, ghosting whiplash, and the occasional “should I text them again?” meltdown. My couch has hosted the freshly ghosted, the newly divorced, the socially anxious dipping a toe into dating, the introverts overwhelmed by small talk, the swipe-weary craving something real, the over-60 crowd rediscovering connection, and the jet-setters and high-achievers whose passports are full but calendars never left room for love. I’ve witnessed tears over heartbreaks and missed connections, sat with the silence of loneliness, and helped people untangle what they want from what they were taught to settle for.
I started this boutique matchmaking venture because I realized that so many people weren’t struggling with how to love—they were stuck on where to start. Swiping felt soulless. Apps felt like auditions. And everyone was tired of dating like it was a second job with no benefits.
So I took what I know—about love, emotional connection, timing, communication styles, attachment, attraction—and turned it into something different. Something intentional. Something curated. No algorithms, no gimmicks—just insight-driven introductions designed for people who want real chemistry and real connection.
If you’re ready to date with depth, a bit of humor, and genuine connection, you’re in the right place.
