Bryce Bronstein, LCSW

Dating Coach and Psychotherapist

For many single people seeking a long-term relationship, dating is a subject often met with dread and frustration. Most would describe their experiences as poor, yet few realize that the core issue is often a lack of specific dating skills.

As a psychotherapist, Bryce Bronstein, LCSW, with 35 years of experience helping individuals navigate relationships, I have found that most people rely solely on personal experience or hearsay. What is missing is the understanding that dating is a skill that must be learned and cultivated.

Without this foundation, people often conflate dating with the relationship itself. By viewing a first meeting through a “relationship” lens rather than a “dating” lens, potential is often compromised. Despite being the primary gateway to lasting romantic connections, dating remains a skill that is rarely taught.

As such, I have invented The Dating Model. The Dating Model is a four-stage coaching model that provides guidance and direction. The Dating Model ensures that you are dating with the end in mind, finding a lasting, loving relationship.
Following the principles and concepts of The Dating Model enables mutual understanding and agreement. No more risk of limerence, “bread-crumbing,” or “situationships.” You are in control of your dating experience, dating with freedom and ease.
