Therapy works. Whether you are lonesome, sad, overwhelmed, isolated, unfulfilled or anxious, therapy is effective. I offer a safe and affordable space in which to build trust, create an alliance, and open up emotionally.

Life as a Black girl is nothing short of magical. However, life transitions, societal pressures, and oftentimes, the desire to "have it all together" can throw us off our square. Giving too much of our "magic" or disbursing it in the wrong places can leave us emotionally burnt out and seeking answers externally when the key to change is within. In session, we work to uncover those belief systems and generational traumas that may keep you stuck in a loop. We address patterns of self-sabotage, setting boundaries, and overall coping to strengthen your sense of self and improve your relationships with others.

Life's complexities can pose challenges, yet within them, hope persists. As a clinician, my role isn't that of an expert, but of a collaborative partner walking alongside you.

My approach is centered on amplifying the inherent strength within you.

Reaching out for help can be quite a bit anxiety-inducing, as we generally do not know what to expect. It is understandable!

When working with me, you can expect me to trust that you know yourself best, so I want to hear from you where you are, and where you want to be. As we work together, I can help you heal from past traumas, and your relationship with yourself will change which will create change in the relationships around you.

Hi! My name is Sam. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in NY and certified ADHD-CCSP. I work with adults with ADHD and trauma and currently pursuing a PhD in Psychology.

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.

Why? This is such a simple question, but perhaps one of the most difficult to answer. If we knew why – why we say the things we say, why we think the things we think, why we do the things we do – we would have more gratifying and less distressing lives. Self-awareness is the greatest gift we can give to ourselves, in order for us to reach our full potential. With your willingness and motivation, understanding your "why" is what we will work towards together in therapy.

Life is unpredictable. You take one step forward and it pushes you two steps backwards. You jump up and gravity pulls you down. But rather than stepping in opposition of the forces of life, why not step in sync with it? Learn to dance and move to the rhythm of life. My clients learn to become mentally flexible so that they can maintain their peace as they dip, swing and dance to whatever beat life throws their way.
