Therapists in Wynantskill, NY

If you're reading this, it means you have already taken the first step toward wellness: you've begun the search for the right therapist for you.

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.

Healing is a very personal, and even spiritual practice. I like to use the word healing rather than therapy or counseling because it encompasses the idea that the client is in charge of doing the deep inner work, not the therapist. The client is free to dive to the root of an issue rather than just scratching the surface. As a healing practitioner, I hold space for the client's healing journey. I guide, support, honor, and truly see my clients as they dig deep into their hearts and minds to find their personal power and free themselves of past pain, as well as reduce the mental health symptoms that may cause daily distress.
