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.

You’ve been together for so long, yet lately it feels like you're drifting apart. The once familiar warmth and comfort have been replaced by an unsettling feeling of being strangers in your own home. Conversations that used to flow effortlessly now feel strained. The vibrant and passionate connection has faded, leaving you feeling disconnected and alone. Have you fallen into a monotonous routine, a cycle of rejection and emotional distance, and your communication has suffered? Do you want to feel that love and closeness you once had, and repair what you've lost to build a stronger, more fulfilling relationship together?
