Our Story

Simone Humphrey and Signe Simon
met while working as psychology trainees in a VA hospital and they were randomly assigned to co-lead a psychotherapy group together. As luck would have it, they quickly discovered they made a great team! As soon-to-be graduates in their doctoral programs in psychology, they shared their own challenges of maintaining romantic relationships through grad school and contemplated the emerging complexities their generation faces around romance. Through conversations with one another, their colleagues, and friends, they saw a need for a forum with easy-to-understand relationship education based in mental health and science.

Our Philosophy

People no longer live within the neatly drawn lines of “single”, “taken”, “gay”, “straight”, or even “male” or “female” as done in generations before. More than ever, identity markers once thought to be integral to an individual’s sense of self have been shucked in favor of the belief that people are never “one size fits all”: fluidity in all its forms is the name of the game and finally, there’s place where people can access literature that pertains to them, is written in their language, and from their perspective.

We facilitate a new and unique experience for the young person navigating the often-nebulous waters of love and sex. We set out to create an educational experience that would feel specific to the millennial reader but also from a foundation of science-based knowledge and we are excited to share this with everyone as reader and therapist alike strive to find greater fulfillment in love and sex.
