LGBTQ+ Issues
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
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.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Stephanie Miodus
Psychologist, PhD, NCSP
I specialize in providing affirming and inclusive care for LGBTQ+ individuals, including autistic and other neurodivergent clients. My approach emphasizes adapting therapeutic strategies to meet the unique needs of each individual while fostering a supportive and validating environment. I have experience advocating for and facilitating access to gender-affirming care, including providing letters of support for gender-affirming medical treatments.
In my work with LGBTQ+ youth, I prioritize family collaboration and use evidence-based practices, including the Family Acceptance Project’s family model, to strengthen relationships and promote mental health and well-being. I also provide guidance around gender identity exploration, helping clients navigate transitions and develop self-acceptance. My goal is to empower individuals and families by offering compassionate, identity-affirming care grounded in respect, understanding, and advocacy.
