Creative Now Therapy, Cris Maria Fort Garcés
Registered Psychotherapist, LCAT, ATR-BC, Gestalt Psychotherapy Certified, Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy Certified, Hakomi Somatic Practitioner
Navigating LGBTQ issues requires a therapist who understands the unique challenges and beauty of living authentically. I specialize in supporting queer, trans, and gender-expansive adults as they explore identity, relationships, and belonging. My approach is affirming, somatic, and culturally sensitive—offering a space where every part of you is welcome, from celebration to struggle. Together, we’ll honor your lived experience, untangle internalized shame, and help you step more confidently into your true self.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Laura Potel
Therapist, LCAT, CST
As a historically marginalized population, individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community are especially vulnerable to mental health issues. As a queer-identified clinician, it is extremely important to me to create safe spaces in which individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community can seek treatment and receive the support they deserve.

Paula Kirsch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST
Affirming care means more than hanging a flag. It means you will not spend your session explaining yourself, educating your therapist, or wondering whether it is safe to say the real thing. I work with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples navigating identity, relationships, sexuality, and everything that comes with living authentically in a world that does not always make that easy. You can just be yourself here. That is the whole point.
