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
Bryan Leach
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The LGBTQ+ community has a long history of navigating and overcoming adversity, including systemic oppression, stigma, discrimination, and violence. I have experience supporting clients across a spectrum of gender identities and sexual orientations as they seek to build fulfilling lives in which they live authentically as themselves. Challenges faced by this population may include combatting internalized oppression, exploring sexuality / gender identity, finding belonging and sense of community, coming out, reevaluating relationships with substances, and experimenting with non-traditional relationship structures.

Ren Lee
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As a queer and trans clinician, I know how important it is to work with someone who understand what it's like, without needing to explain your lived experiences. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ clients and offer letters of support for trans clients seeking gender-affirming healthcare.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Zaray Dratch
Pre-Licensed Professional, MFT-LP
Finding a therapist who doesn't need you to explain yourself from the beginning makes a difference. For LGBTQ+ clients, too many therapy experiences start with education, having to define terms, justify your relationship structure, or convince your therapist that your life is valid. That's not what happens here.
Whether you're navigating coming out, relationship dynamics that don't fit a traditional mold, family rejection, identity, or the particular kind of stress that comes from living in a world that still requires you to fight for basic dignity, this is a space that starts from affirmation and moves forward from there. No explaining, no justifying, no shrinking.
Relationship issues within LGBTQ+ partnerships carry their own specific weight. Communication, intimacy, trust, and commitment look different when you're also managing external pressure, internalized stigma, or the absence of relationship models that actually reflect your life. All of that is welcome here.
