Results That Last

our clients success

Grounded in evidence-based psychology, we go far beyond surface-level dating advice. With a therapist-trained lens, we deeply understand who you are and design a fully personalized dating strategy, resulting in clearer choices, stronger connections, and measurable wins.
After hiring Next Level Dating my confidence grew tremendously. I was getting an average of 1-2 matches per week before hiring them. After they booked my photoshoot and completed my dating app audit, I started seeing around 12 matches per week. I also booked a styling session with them, and I have never felt so good in my own clothing! Their support is definitely worth the investment.

When I first heard the term “dating coach”, I must admit that I recoiled. Would they simply tell me to ditch the cargo shorts and cheeky puns? Take elaborate photos to make me look “kewl”? After working with Veronica, my perception has completely changed. Her understanding of dating culture and human psychology helped me to see how I was getting in my own way and missing out on opportunities for real connection. She put me at ease right away and even made me laugh, which is no easy task!

Next Level Dating has been a gift to my life. I started off with a practice date session and really enjoyed the experience (felt very comfortable and real) however, beyond the fun dinner with a very amazing woman, I learned an immense amount about myself with the review they gave me after the date. I learned that I start speaking too quickly – it does not allow my date to really open up or feel cared about. After this date, I purchased another one, and that is where my confidence really grew. I decided to do 1-1 coaching with the owner because I was very impressed with their professionalism, the practice session review/homework they gave me, and the discussions I had with her in between all of these.

A message from our founder

I created Next Level Dating from the belief that lasting romantic connection becomes far more attainable when you truly know yourself, know what you want, and have the confidence to navigate modern dating with intention.

With a background in clinical psychology and years of experience as a therapist, I saw firsthand how evidence-based tools, particularly CBT, could transform not only anxiety, but dating patterns as well.

After experiencing the frustration of modern dating myself, I set out to apply psychological insight to help people date more clearly, confidently, and successfully.

I’m grateful you’re here and honored to support you in creating a partnership that truly aligns.

We never share your data with third parties without your explicit consent. Our team follows industry best practices to ensure your information is stored securely, and all communication is handled with discretion and professionalism.
Is this therapy or coaching?
arrow icon
Our services are designed as dating consulting, not therapy. While our founder was a  former therapist and brings psychological expertise to the table, dating coaching focuses on helping you develop practical skills, build confidence, and navigate the modern dating world effectively. Our work together will incorporate CBT exercises for the present moment and psychodynamic in nature when revisiting your past. If during our work we identify deeper emotional issues that may benefit from therapy, we’ll always be transparent and may recommend that you seek support from a licensed mental health professional.
Will I be working with a man or woman?
