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.

Dr. TarraBates-Duford
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT, MPhiL
I am a dedicated and compassionate mental health professional with 20 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s most challenging experiences. My work focuses on trauma, familial relationships, mental health disorders, and personal growth, with a deep commitment to creating a safe and empowering space for each client.
Throughout my career, I have specialized in areas including anxiety, depression, PTSD, personality disorders, relationship challenges, and life transitions, among others. I utilize evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches to help clients process past experiences, build coping skills, and achieve meaningful and sustainable change. I also provide support for complex issues such as abuse recovery, grief, parenting challenges, and navigating identity and relational dynamics.
I am passionate about helping clients cultivate resilience, self-awareness, and emotional well-being. My goal is to empower individuals to move beyond patterns that limit their growth, restore connection in their relationships, and develop the tools to thrive in their personal and professional lives. I approach each client with empathy, professionalism, and a focus on individualized care tailored to their unique journey.

Michael Nakhla
Psychiatrist, MD
I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist and psychotherapist. I serve in leadership and teaching roles at NYU, where I teach the next generation of psychiatrists and work at the intersection of college mental health and academic medicine. My practice focuses on high-achieving professionals and students navigating mood and anxiety disorders, ADHD, perfectionism, and identity development. I created my private practice space, The Light Room, to be decidedly different from traditional psychiatric practices — care that's evidence-based yet deeply human, personalized, accessible, and responsive.
I specialize in integrating psychotherapy with medication management to offer a truly comprehensive treatment approach.

Menucha Banayan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMHC
Sometimes couples come to therapy feeling exhausted and discouraged — like they’ve tried everything and are still ending up in the same painful patterns. My practice is a warm, supportive space where both partners feel heard, understood, and respected. I work with couples who feel alone in their marriage, stuck in rough communication cycles, or unsure how things got so distant despite trying so hard. Together, we gently explore triggers, the ways you each impact one another, and the deeper emotions underneath the conflict. My goal is to help you move out of blame and disconnection and into a relationship where you feel secure, valued, and truly loved. If you’re longing for closeness again, I would be honored to walk alongside you in that process.
