Welcome to the healing journey! I'm Feruze Zeko, MA, LMHC, a passionate and dedicated Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience in providing compassionate and effective psychotherapy.

My style is supportive, non-judgemental, and collaborative. I am an empathic listener.

Psychotherapy has the potential to heal wounds and offer insight. I believe the best therapists are warm, well trained, and have impeccable boundaries. I aim to be this kind of counselor. I am a certified individual psychotherapist with additional training to counsel couples/families. My work is conducted weekly, ranging from a short to long term basis.

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.
