Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care.

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.
