It is in the depths of our psyche where fear and longing reside. We use tricks and masks to defend against knowing ourselves and yet yearn to be known, long to be recognized. The journey to discovery consists not only in what we say about ourselves but how we are listened to. It is in this unique place of psychoanalysis where the known and unknown, the conscious and the unconscious meet. Once we start to listen to the stories we tell about ourselves, and are heard, the mind is opened to a more expansive self and healing can begin.

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.
