Stephanie's ideal client is someone who is willing to come to session and put in the hard work that therapy requires. Her ideal client’s issues and needs would stem from something personal or even an external circumstance from outside of their lives. What matters here is having courage and how her clients decide to deal with those issues and needs, because life can throw curveballs. She she hopes to bring a sense of compassion, kindness, trust, and empathy when working with these clients.

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.

When we understand what is happening in our brain, and how we can expect to heal, we see hope. Though addiction of any kind is painful, it is manageable; we can be free. By learning to identify the thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that may be holding us back, we can begin to let go of the bad, including trauma, and build in more good. If you are worried you may have a problem with alcohol, drugs, food addiction, gambling, or sexual imagery, or just want to break self-destructive habits and develop better ones, email me and we can schedule a phone call (free of charge) to talk about our work.
