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.

Katherine Rabinowitz
Licensed Psychoanalyst, LP, M.A., NCPsyA
The world is changing. At least the part of it that we live in. Some of you may be troubled by the sexual orientation you've come to realize is part of you. It's not bad or good, right or wrong, it's just who you are. There will be people who can't accept that. Possibly your family. Possibly the religion you are or were a part of. But there is every-increasing awareness that being who you are is not an "illness" that needs a cure. It's an acceptable lifestyle (and one you didn't choose - it's in your DNA), and therapy can help you accept yourself, love yourself for who you are, and to deal with those in your life who can't or won't accept you for who you are. Life is still good, and will be better once you work through the issues that stand in your way.

Lenny Gallo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Being part of the LGBTQIA+ community can bring incredible strength and resilience—but it can also come with unique challenges. Even as acceptance grows, discrimination, judgment, and pressure to conform still impact daily life and mental health.
Whether you’re coming out, exploring your gender or sexual identity, navigating family dynamics, considering non-monogamy, raising children, or aging in a world that doesn’t always understand—you're not alone. These experiences can bring up anxiety, depression, shame, or isolation, and you don’t have to carry that alone.
Therapy offers a space to talk openly about identity, sex, relationships, and health—including informed sexual decision-making and options like PrEP—without fear of judgment.
You deserve affirming care that respects who you are and supports where you want to go. Together, we can help you feel more grounded, empowered, and aligned with your values.
