Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities where confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

As a mental health clinican with over forty years of life experience, I believe that perception affects an individual's performance. I find that if a person believes they can do something well, they will do it well and vice versa. I am especially interested in this observable fact and how an individual's perception and cognitive process affects their behavior. Interestingly enough most people normalize behaviors, behaving according to how their community, family, friends or worst yet life long patterns of maladaptive behaviors; equipping my clients with a diverse set of tools to handle life stressors is essential for optimum living.

Therapy is a great first step to improving one’s quality of life. Although we understand it’s benefit it can also be intimidating. Therapy isn’t about ‘fixing’ an individual, instead the focus is on empowerment and utilizing the skills the person possesses while developing other skills which may help support and maintain change. I believe a strong therapeutic alliance can assist anyone with facilitating the change they are seeking by developing a structure of exploration that alleviates the angst that comes with creating change in one’s life.
