I'm just a mental health guide. You're the expert on you. You've lived your entire life with all of the context of all of your experiences, relationships etc. When you step into my sessions, you're providing me with a window into that world and I provide you with my clinical interpretation of what I perceive. You're the one that's living in it. It's my job to help you navigate your own mind to get you what you want. Not to shape you into what I believe is best. I'm just the mental health guy.

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.

My aim as a therapist is to get to know you and your unique personality and to facilitate a space where you can authentically show up to discuss your feelings and desires. Circumstances in life can be distressing and isolating, but you do not have to navigate that alone. I believe exploring these feelings and experiences in depth can provide a clearer understanding of oneself and the ability to navigate such stressors. I currently see children, adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, relational issues, and loneliness.

I am a multicultural, holistic, trauma-informed, LGBT+ affirmative therapist and a core believer in resiliency of human spirit. Though you may consider me as the professional/expert, you are the expert of your lived experiences. I strongly believe that the client has a right to both be a recipient as well as an influencer within the therapeutic relationship. My job as a therapist is to act as guide while you are empowered to tackle both inner and outer barriers. I aim to hold a space for those who may not have access to any other arenas to feel heard and understood.

MCM Collaborative is a group psychotherapy practice built for connection, healing and transformation. We are passionate and practiced in partnering with people of color, especially LGBTQ+ folks. Because we know our struggles are interconnected, we also invite teens, adults, partners/couples and families of all identities. Folks often come to us because they find comfort starting a therapeutic process with someone with a shared identity. We work best with clients who often feel misunderstood by others and, at times, by themselves. Struggling within your relationships - friendships, romantic, familial? We got you there, too.

In my practice, I provide a safe and inclusive space where you can critically examine your challenges, find strength, and embrace your true potential. My approach is rooted in compassion, cultural sensitivity, and evidence-based techniques tailored to your specific needs. Therapy is meant to be a relationship where we can say the things we don’t normally say aloud and practice the habits we want to build and use in our daily lives. Our therapeutic relationship is the judgement-free zone in which you can learn and practice how to voice your needs, set boundaries, and own your power in your relationships.

Everyone is capable of healing; sometimes you just need some external help getting there. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental and authentic space for my clients. I believe in building a supportive environment while also challenging my client’s negative beliefs to develop new ways of thinking, build different perspectives and concrete solutions to their challenges. Therapy is a collaborative process and we will work together to bring you to a place where you feel safe, secure and empowered. I treat everyone as a unique individual and tailor treatment specifically to the needs of the person in front of me.

Living in fear, & avoidance is much the same as not living at all. Although pain is a universal inevitability across all life forms, suffering is a uniquely human quality. But, does suffering have to be terminal? Is it always destined? I am confident in my ability to help folks navigate the entanglement & beauty of sexuality, gender, spirituality, race, culture, & identity. I specialize in depression, complex trauma, LGBTQ+ concerns, acculturation & race-based stress, sexual abuse, & interpersonal conflicts. My goal is to help you feel liberated in your body, unashamedly free, & excited for the future. So how do we do this together?

I'm a therapist because I love working with people and embrace humanity in all its glorious, messy, wondrous complexity. I'm here to work with your needs as a client, to help you understand yourself better and to empower you on your journey of growth and healing. I practice using an integrative approach, which means: I see you as a person shaped by your past, present and thoughts about the future; by your innate personality, environment and upbringing; by your social relationships, likes, dislikes and relationship with yourself.

Starting therapy requires bravery and vulnerability. As someone who has been on both sides of the equation – clinician and client – I want to make this act of courage on your part as comfortable as possible. I know what it feels like to share my experiences with a clinician and have them respond back to me with kindness, openness, and acceptance – sometimes simply by saying “You went through all that? Me too.” As your therapist, I’ll work with you to identify any thoughts, behaviors, emotions, or limiting beliefs preventing you from living a meaningful, joyful life.

I approach psychotherapy with cultural humility and a growth mindset. As a South-Asian woman continuing to navigate the nuances of my bi-cultural identities, I appreciate the contributions of complex sociocultural issues to an individual’s sense of self, holistic well-being, and meaning in life. My educational and clinical experience thus far has fueled my passion towards working with underserved populations including BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities.

Zeist employs a non-pathologizing therapeutic outlook, tailoring her approach according to each client's unique needs, drawing from modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Person-Centered Therapy (PCT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS).

My work as a psychologist is rooted in a profound belief that by recognizing and honoring our complex, messy life stories with honesty and gentleness, we lay the foundation to heal the obstacles preventing us from building fulfilling, meaningful lives. Throughout life, we all create narratives about ourselves to help us survive. These narratives are shaped by myriad factors (individual life experiences, relationships, intergenerational legacies, and experiences of oppression/privilege, belonging/rejection, among others). Over time, our narratives and coping mechanisms fall short. We wonder, what went wrong?Why? What's wrong with me?
