LOVELINK

This week’s episode is a little different. Instead of an interview, four couples therapists from our group practice came together to answer YOUR questions on romantic relationships. We discussed the biggest mistakes you can make in a relationship, red flags to watch for at each developmental stage, and how to head into a new romantic relationship without losing yourself. The discussion was so much fun and there was so much to talk about, we’ve decided to start a series on dating. Stay tuned!  LOVELINK is hosted by Brooklyn-based therapists Dr. Signe Simon and Dr. Simone Humphrey. If you’d like to contact us directly, send us an email to info@modernmind.co.
