Creative Now Therapy, Cris Maria Fort Garcés
Registered Psychotherapist, LCAT, ATR-BC, Gestalt Psychotherapy Certified, Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy Certified, Hakomi Somatic Practitioner
You are not too sensitive. You are not failing at healing. Your body has just been running an old survival program for a long time, and it’s tired. I work with sensitive women and queer adults who are done performing “fine” while quietly falling apart.

Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Many of the people I work with are insightful, capable, and used to being the strong one—but inside, they feel overwhelmed, lonely, or unsure how to change the patterns they keep repeating. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes or surface-level advice. It’s about creating a space where you can be fully seen and understood while we gently and honestly look at what isn’t working and why. My style is warm, direct, and deeply relational. I help people understand their emotional patterns, attachment wounds, identity questions, and relationship dynamics so they can live with more clarity, self-trust, and freedom.

Kiona Edwards
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LCAT, ATR-BC
When we bring compassion, curiosity, and courage into how we relate to ourselves, it opens space to understand our emotions more deeply, trust our inner voice, and move toward a life that feels more aligned. I care deeply about this work because I believe real change starts in that relationship with ourselves.

Truth Berenson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I offer counseling and coaching for individuals of all genders, sexualities, racial identities, and family formations. My work is rooted in developing a strong therapeutic relationship. Within the counselor-client connection, clients are invited to explore relational dynamics and to safely become more honest with themselves and others. Through collaboration, I support clients to clearly identify boundaries, honor desires, and expand their capacity to tap into innate resources. My approach is informed by psychodynamic theory, spiritual and archetypal counseling, parts work, creative arts therapy, and goal-oriented coaching in addition to somatic interventions. These coupled with a client-centered and anti-oppressive lens facilitate changes that are both radical and sustainable.
Areas of specialty include: partnership and family conflict, self doubt, guilt & shame, eating disorders & body image, gender, sexuality, LGBTQIA+ experiences, transitioning, PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, addiction, attachment, polyamory, family dynamics, interpersonal and communal conflict, spiritual growth, strengthening intuition, political identity, financial stability, transitions, and creative blocks.
My therapeutic style is intuitive, fierce, and nurturing. With passion and humor, I approach each person with deep respect for the grace and grit of human experience and an abiding trust in each individual's capacity for growth and resilience.
I also support couples struggling to navigate both the inevitable and unexpected challenges of partnership. Every partnership has unique strengths and challenges and even the strongest relationships sometimes need help weathering life's hardships, be they related to health concerns, finances, sexuality and intimacy, children, work stress, extended family, etc.
Couples counseling can help partners improve communication, develop a deeper understanding of each other's experiences, increase awareness of intentions and impact, and relate to each other with compassion and curiosity rather than judgment.
I support couples to make collaborative decisions and move through conflict with courage, honesty, and mutual respect.
Partners learn communication and deescalation skills, develop resiliency, and grow as individuals and partners. Together we can identify and heal attachment wounds, explore power dynamics, and build trust.

Buffalo's post-industrial economy and harsh winters contribute to elevated rates of depression and seasonal mood challenges, and therapists here are experienced in working with these climate-related patterns. The city has a strong community identity and a sizable working-class population, with therapists frequently addressing grief, economic stress, relationship issues, and intergenerational family dynamics. The University at Buffalo and Erie County Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources, while private practices serve those seeking longer-term therapeutic relationships. Buffalo's proximity to Canada and its large Rust Belt peer cities also shapes a regional resilience that many therapists draw on in their work.
