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.

Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When bias and discrimination are part of a person's problems, I show them how not to anger themselves and then how to address the prejudice and discrimination constructively. In cases where people are shameful about their sexuality, I teach them how to unconditionally accept themselves and never to shame themselves for who they are and what they like both sexually and non-sexually.

Wyatt Okeefe
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPC, LPCC
Throughout my career, I have specialized in working with adults in the LGBTQIA+ community, with a particular focus on transgender and nonbinary individuals, partners navigating gender transition together, and supportive family members and friends. I also work with adults who have experienced childhood abuse and may be coping with trauma-related concerns, depression, anxiety, intimacy, and relationship challenges. My approach provides a supportive space to explore identity, relationships, healing, and personal growth. I do not provide traditional couples therapy.
