Testimonials

"Before working with Dr. Brinkley the biggest challenge I was facing was letting go of an ex and having no hope in dating in the future. I truly felt like I was one of one, and all the other guys in the dating scene were just a waste of time. Dr. Brinkley’s dating coaching process helped me understand that I have trust issues. The coaching also helped me realize that if I have the traits and qualities that I desire in my partner, then there are other men out there too with the same traits and qualities.

A specific result I have seen since working with Dr. Brinkley was not immediately looking at guys through a pessimistic lense. Now, I give them an honest chance and I try to implement the trust building skills I learned during coaching. My perspective on dating has changed in the fact that I now believe other men also have the core traits/values that I have and want to see reflected in my partner. What I appreciated most working with Dr. Brinkley was not feeling judged and feeling like I was being heard and seen. Also, there were times I had to look at myself deeply and honestly, even though those parts may not have been fun, they were needed. I recommend working with Dr. Brinkley for dating coaching services to any guy that is trying to date other men. My overall experience was very positive."
