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.

Your individual challenges are unique to your experiences and circumstances, cultural and spiritual beliefs, and personal identity.

Therapy is one path to developing a sense of meaning and purpose in both adverse and day-to-day experiences.
