Around this time of year, it can feel like there's a countdown clock on relationships,

like you're supposed to be somewhere specific by now.

But no matter where you are in your romantic journey, you're right on time.

Most people are still figuring things out,

even if it doesn't look that way from the outside.

and if it's not the right fit, you can change therapists at any time. Sign up and get 10% off
