Somatic Therapy & Energy work | Poughkeepsie, NY & Worldwide

Clinically trained. Mystically tuned. Deeply human.

Where Therapy and Spirituality Finally Meet. 

This is the space where soul-curious people, spaceholders, & healers rise and return to themselves through sacred attunement, embodiment mysticism, and soul rooted truth.  Where nervous system healing, energy work, and spiritual depth converge in service to your becoming.

You’ve been the portal for other people’s healing, now your soul is asking for more

You’re craving integration. Not more tools, not another training, but soul-deep restoration. A place to bring your grief, your wisdom, your sacred rage, because holding space for others comes at a cost. You’re scared to admit that you’re tired of being the mirror for everyone else’s healing while your own soul goes unseen. This ends today.

You long to feel connected to your body, your magic, your sense of aliveness, but instead, you feel numb, or like you’re living on autopilot.

You’re the one others turn to for wisdom, but inside, you feel frayed, untethered, and quietly worn down.

You crave depth and meaning, but the spaces you’ve tried have felt too polished, too clinical, or too surface to hold your spiritual and soul truth, your woo and your weird.

The ache is quiet, but constant, and it doesn’t go away just because you can name it.

You’ve done the talk therapy, the coping skills, the exercises, but nothing seems to touch the deeper ache underneath it all.

And I get you, but it Doesn’t Have to Be This Way.

I know how quietly painful and disorienting it feels when the tools that once worked suddenly fall flat - especially when you’ve already walked through fire to get here.

• You want to feel steady, soulful, alive, and like yourself again. 

• You want your soul and nervous system in sync, but getting there feels like another thing you’re not doing right.

• You wonder if anyone can meet you in the middle, where your grief and your magic live side by side. 

• You’re not sure where to turn without being asked to choose between your mysticism and your messiness.

• You wonder if needing this much means you’ve fallen behind, like you should be stronger by now, not still unraveling.

But here’s what’s true, something real is trying to emerge. You haven’t failed, you’ve simply outgrown the old containers. You’re ready to be met in the liminal space, where healing isn’t just intellectual, it’s embodied.

TWO PORTALS, ONE PATH TO WHOLENESS

Deep Healing for Your Body, Spirit, and Story

Creative Now Therapy offers two powerful pathways into this work, grounded in ritual, transformative tools, and methodologies designed to meet you wherever you are in your evolution.

Healing That’s Mystical, Grounded, and Fully Embodied

Unlike approaches that ask you to choose between science or spirit, I integrate both, offering trauma-informed therapy that welcomes your intuition, your complexity, your spirituality and your sacred weirdness. This is care that meets you in the liminal space between unraveling and becoming. This is transformation, yes, but not into someone else. Into someone more fully, deeply you.

Meet Your Guide

Hi, I’m Cris Maria Fort Garcés

A LatinX psychotherapist, somatic alchemist, and cosmic mirror for the parts of you that remember what this world tried to make you forget. 

I firmly believe that healing is less about becoming someone new and more about stripping back the noise until you hear your own soul clearly again. I started Creative Now Therapy & beyond because I couldn’t find a space that held both the sacred and the messy, both spirit and the nervous system, or the mystical and the clinically sound, so I built it. 

With nearly 20 years of clinical experience, a lifetime of mystical practice, and thousands of sessions held in the liminal, I now guide clients through the sacred unraveling that leads to real integration. Fun fact: I grew up obsessed with Sailor Moon, and I still believe we’re all secretly magical beings in disguise, trying to remember our mission.

When Insight Isn’t Enough, and Your Soul Is Asking for More.

You’ve done the therapy. You’ve journaled, reflected, and processed. You’ve studied healing, helped others heal, held space, and held so much. You’ve become emotionally aware, maybe even spiritually open, but despite all of it, something still feels disconnected.

You don’t need more insight. You need a place where your nervous system can exhale, where your identity isn’t split between personal, cultural, and spiritual parts of you, where grief doesn’t have to be named to be honored, where you don’t have to shrink—or explain—to be seen.

What clients say

When I first met Cris, I was at a moment in my life where I was unsure of every possible direction. All of my decisions were based on fear and a recent change in my health had me wondering what kind of life I would have and holy crap I'm going to die. Being in front of Cris's intellect, warmth and grace literally gave me strength I didn't know was there and the assurance of my ability to navigate conflict with grace and evenness. A truly gifted guide and stellar human being.

- Grey

Cris has been integral to my growth. She is incredibly kind, understanding, and supportive, while also challenging me to face things I may have been ignoring/dismissing. I’m really grateful to have been able to work with her.

- Autumn

Cris is a wonderful therapist. As a pediatrician, I was prone to over-thinking. She has helped me to work through my thoughts and to be in tune with my body.

- Lisa

You don’t have to choose between your science and your soul. This isn’t self-improvement. It’s soul retrieval. Let's call your magic back.

You get to bring your grief, your gifts, your weirdness and let them speak. Let your magic lead.
