Meet Dr. Kyle Zrenchik, PhD, ACS, LMFT
Sorry. Dr. Zrenchik is currently not accepting new clients.
HI, I’M KYLE
or, as they call me on WCCO, "Dr. Love"
I was in my twenties, and my life was headed for disaster. I was on a career path that was not right for me, I was gay and in the closet, and my sex life was a joke.
So, I tried something radical: to go ALL IN and make change happen. I did my own therapy, I read everything I could get my hand on, I went out of my comfort zone, and I got control over that nasty voice in my head that told me “you can’t”.
And, it worked.
For the first time, I enjoyed sex! I discovered this incredible sense of confidence, and others picked up on it. I was enjoying dating, I was finally making real friends, but, more importantly, I made peace with my past and began to build a life I was excited about.
Now, I am happily married, I have a career I am passionate about, and I know how to love.
In my graduate studies, and through the thousands of individuals and couples I have worked with, I have honed a path that I call “The Couples Erotic Flow”. It’s a path to improve your emotional and sexual connection, and experience more out of your relationship.
By showing you this path, this flow, inside of all individuals and couples, and how to tap into this natural cadence, I can show you how to stop thinking, and start acting.
I took my own experience, and infused cutting edge relationship and sex research, as well as best clinical practices to create a simple, yet effective step-by-step plan on how to improve your relationship with yourself, the relationship you have with your mate, and the relationship you have with your inner erotic.
I believe you know what you want your life to look like. I believe you know why you need your life to look that way.
I’m here to show you how.
