What is holding you back? I work with young adults who don't know the answer to that question, who are struggling with life transitions, finding a purpose, and may be having a life "crisis."

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.

We all have the need to feel supported and understood. Therapy should be constructive and transformative, as well as serve as an important, set aside time for self-care. We know how far the physical environment goes towards making you feel comfortable, and have a positive experience. No one wants the stress of a hectic waiting area before your session, and we have built a comfortable environment to make your therapy appointments feel like a weekly getaway from the hustle and bustle of New York City.

I practice mindfulness psychotherapy, which means I will provide you with an array of tools to help you slow down and start addressing the long-overdue feelings and emotions claiming your attention. In a world characterized by speed and long to-do lists, slowdown seems like a luxury not accessible to many. However, the practice of paying attention is doable in small doses. Emotions affect you, but even more when you avoid them. They manifest as anxiety, depression, knots in the stomach, headaches, short temper, a clogged throat, fights with partners or children, insecurity, and the list continues.
