Understand the process
What Is a Dating Mentor?
A dating mentor is someone you can turn to throughout the dating process, a steady, impartial sounding board who helps you think through the decisions and challenges in front of you.
Whether you're unsure how to handle a situation, weighing what comes next, or simply trying to understand your own feelings, mentoring gives you a private place to talk it all through.
Dating mentoring is not therapy or counselling. It is practical, personal guidance from someone who knows the process and genuinely wants to see you settled and sure of your decisions.
Meet Your Mentor
Hi, I'm Marisa Tuchinsky
Warm, practical, and in your corner
My passion for this work comes from seeing firsthand how much good relationships and clear decisions can shape a life. Over the years, I've come to understand the real challenges singles face, the doubts, the questions, the pressure to get it right.
Dating brings real uncertainty and hard choices. Sometimes the most valuable thing is having an impartial person to help you sort through your thoughts, step back for perspective, and make choices that fit your values and goals.
I'm calm, practical, and honest with you. I help clients think things through, say what they mean, and move forward without doubting every step. And through it all, I keep one thing in focus, everything comes from Hashem, and our hishtadlus is simply to put in the effort and do our part.

Client Testimonials
Some reflections from clients on their experience working together. Details have been adjusted to protect privacy.
From my very first meeting with Mrs. Tuchinsky, I felt I was in the right place. I initially came with some hesitation, not knowing what to expect, but her warm smile, kindness, and genuine care immediately put me at ease. She created an environment where I felt comfortable opening up and sharing honestly.
Our meetings gave me clarity, direction, and practical tools that helped me approach dating and relationships with greater confidence and self-awareness. I also gained valuable insight into how to present myself more naturally and confidently in meetings while staying true to who I am.
What stood out most to me was how genuine and objective her guidance felt. I never felt judged, pressured, or told what I “should” do. Instead, I felt heard, understood, and guided with wisdom, experience, and sincere care. I am deeply grateful for the support and perspective I received.
— Esti K.At a particularly confusing and emotional point in my dating journey, I needed someone objective — someone who could help me sort through my thoughts without outside expectations or personal bias. Mrs. Tuchinsky made herself available on short notice, and that conversation made an enormous difference for me.
She listened carefully, asked thoughtful questions, and helped me notice important things I had not considered on my own. Her ability to bring clarity, perspective, and calm to an overwhelming situation was truly invaluable.
I left our meeting feeling grounded, clear-minded, and confident about my next steps. Her warmth, positivity, and gentle way of offering guidance make it easy to open up, reflect, and truly apply what she shares. I am incredibly thankful for her support and hope many others will benefit from her wisdom and care as well.
