Hakomi Method
Creative Now Therapy, Cris Maria Fort Garcés
Registered Psychotherapist, LCAT, ATR-BC, Gestalt Psychotherapy Certified, Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy Certified, Hakomi Somatic Practitioner
The pain of trying to stay the same has become unbearable. You might look fine on the outside but inside, you’re unraveling. Panic, numbness, or a deep sense of disconnection is starting to take over your days. You’re exhausted from overthinking and pretending to be okay. I help sensitive women and queer adults who feel like they’re at a breaking point, and don’t know where to turn.

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.

Soma Aloia, SolDance Therapy & Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, CYT, OrdM
I create a safe space for you to slow down, settle, and be yourself. Always an invitation. My work is deeply meaningful and something I am passionate about - knowing how we can come into our full potential given the right support - kindness, patience, acknowledgement, and deep listening. "Being-with" holds the greatest potential for transformation. I hold you in the place you need the deepest support. We sit and listen, together. Understanding our stories is important for starting healing, but learning to be with the body to allow the unspoken voice of frozen traumatic imprints to thaw and heal, is the only way to true behavior change and transformation. My work with you helps you do all this. Schedule a 15-minute complimentary intro call to find out more. https://www.somaaloia.com/contact-soma-aloia
While highly trained and educated, my greatest professional growth and abilities come from the Health of my own healing experiences - my inner laboratory - and from deep learning with my clients themselves. It brings me great joy to be of service to all ages, supporting and witnessing our "being and becoming" as humans, in spite of what is going on around us. Can we heal years and layers of deep wounding and hurt? Yes we can! Over and over again, I have witnessed it... yes we can! We create secure attachment in a turbulent world, one person at a time.
I dedicate my practice to my teachers who've come before me and to my precious clients - who always believe enough in themselves to be courageous... to trust their hearts even if "the seas catch fire". It is an honor to witness and support this, along with supporting the shift happening in the whole world because of this work, and because of love. I look forward to meeting you in the spaciousness of this work together.
