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 were 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.

I work with people of all ages, of all genders, all professions and especially of all faiths. I know that making the first step to reach out for help requires a lot of courage. Creating a safe & supportive environment where you won't feel judged is my goal, so that you can use therapy to cope better with difficult feelings and make real changes.
