Does this sound familiar? "Life just does not feel as great as I thought it would at this time. Some of my relationships feel unfulfilling, others challenging, and I find myself experiencing the same people, situations and outcomes over and over again. I feel sad and anxious that I won't ever be able to have the life I want. I am at a loss of what I am doing wrong or why this keeps happening. I wish there was a way to have the relationships I want, to truly feel happy, and to feel that I have the key to changing my life for the better."

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.
