The Problem
You’ve Been Trying to Piece It All Together on Your Own
You’re thoughtful. Self-aware. Intuitive.
You notice patterns most people miss. You track synchronicities. You pay attention to the subtle signals life sends your way.
Maybe you’ve pulled tarot cards for clarity. Had your birth chart read. Gone to a moon circle or spiritual event that felt meaningful.
For a moment, something clicks. You see yourself more clearly. You understand your patterns. You feel hopeful that things might shift.
But the same loops keep coming back: The overthinking. The shame spiral. Replaying conversations in your head wondering if you said all the wrong things.
Part of the problem is that the things helping you understand yourself don’t seem to live in the same place. Therapy doesn’t always make space for your spirituality.
Spiritual spaces don’t always help you translate insight into real change.
So you end up holding all the pieces alone. A realization here. A reading there. Another tool. Another explanation.
But insight by itself doesn’t change the pattern. Without real support for integration, it’s easy to stay stuck in the same cycles —just with better explanations for why they happen.
You don’t need
more insight. You need
a place where all the pieces finally come together.
THE TRANSFORMATION
When Insight Finally Turns Into Real Change...
When your insight finally has an embodied place to land, something powerful starts to shift.
The awareness you already have stops living only in your mind and begins to change how you experience yourself in real time. You start noticing what’s happening in your body before your thoughts spiral.
Instead of getting pulled into the same familiar loops, you begin responding differently.
You begin to:
•
Catch anxious spirals
before they take over your entire night
•
Notice the inner critic
without believing everything it says
•
Speak up
in moments where you once stayed quiet
• Feel
less embarrassed about the spiritual parts of yourself
•
Trust your intuition instead of constantly searching for external answers
Over time, life starts to feel different. You stop performing the version of yourself you think the world expects.
And start living in a way that actually feels aligned with who you are.
THE SOLUTION
A Space Where Your Spiritual Life & Healing Finally Meet
If you’ve ever had a tarot reading that felt powerful but left you wondering what to actually do with the insight…
Or explored astrology and thought “this explains so much about me” but nothing in your life really changed…
You’re not alone. Most spiritual tools offer meaningful insight. But very few spaces help you integrate that insight in a way that transforms how you live.
This work bridges that gap.
Together we slow things down and work with the deeper layers of experience: your nervous system, your intuition, and the symbolic language your life is already speaking.
Our work may include:
•
Somatic therapy
to shift the survival patterns your body has been carrying
•
Astrology and tarot
to illuminate the deeper themes moving through your life
•
Intuitive and ritual practices
that reconnect you with your inner knowing
•
Embodied integration
so insight becomes
real, lasting change
Instead of collecting more explanations about yourself, you begin experiencing something different.
Your life starts to
shift.
WHO This work is For
For the Ones Who Look Like They Have It Together...
You’re intuitive and thoughtful, but your mind rarely slows down.
You might recognize yourself here:
• You
replay conversations for hours
wondering if you said the wrong thing.
• You’re
incredibly compassionate toward others but
relentlessly hard on yourself.
• You
shrink your voice in relationships
to avoid conflict or rejection.
• You feel pulled toward
tarot, astrology, or ritual, but you’re not always sure
where that part of you belongs in your life.
• You’ve tried
therapy, books, podcasts, and personal growth tools, but
something deeper still hasn’t shifted.
• From the outside people think you
have it together, but inside you often feel
overwhelmed, lost, or quietly falling apart.
You’re not looking for someone to convince you this work matters. You already sense there’s meaning in the way you experience the world.
You just want a place where
all of those pieces: your mind, your body, and your spiritual life — can finally come together.
When you can't keep going the way things are.
Every day feels the same. Work, sleep, scroll, repeat, somewhere along the way, you stopped feeling like yourself. You look fine on the outside, but inside you’re anxious, disconnected, and quietly wondering or screaming inside: “Is this really all there is?”
You’re outgrowing this phase of life and you’re not sure what’s left to hold onto. It’s a disorienting place to be.
Part of you wants change, the other is terrified to let go.
You’re not broken.
You’re on the edge of remembering. And you don’t need another fix, you need a space that sees all of you.
This isn’t failure. It’s the threshold. And it’s time to stop fixing and start remembering yourself.
Who this work is for:
You want to feel connected, to your body, your magic, your sense of aliveness, but instead, you feel numb, shut down, or stuck on autopilot, unsure how to get back to yourself.
You’re the one people come to for wisdom, care, or healing, but privately, you feel frayed, untethered, and quietly falling apart, afraid to admit how much it’s costing you.
You crave spaces that go beyond surface talk, but everything you’ve tried has felt too polished, too clinical, or too constrained to hold your full truth, your grief, or your spiritual weird & WOO.
You’ve done everything “right” followed the playbook, but nothing touches the deeper ache underneath it all, and you’re starting to wonder if it ever will.
You’ve tried to figure yourself out, podcasts, journaling, all the tools, but you still feel lost, like you’re falling behind, falling apart, or faking it more than anyone knows.
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.
If you’re ready to stop circling the edge of your healing, take the first step today. I’ll meet you there.

Meet Your Guide
Hi, I’m Cristina Maria Fort Garcés
Clinically Trained. Mystically Tuned. Deeply Human.
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.
After nearly
20 years in the clinical world,
and a lifetime listening to the deeper, spiritual layers of human experience, I’ve become
a guide for those moving through the liminal: the unraveling, the identity shifts, the moments
when nothing old fits but nothing new feels formed. Let's check out and support that space together.
How I Work
Where Spiritual Insight Becomes Real Change
I use a process that brings together evidence-based somatic interventions & the spiritual, so it feels a little bit like remembering something ancient.
We Slow Down and Notice What’s Real
We pay attention to what’s happening in your body, breath, & language in the present moment: where your patterns actually live.
- This helps you feel more clear and less overwhelmed.
We Go Beneath the Surface
Through esoteric practices: tarot, astrology, & symbolism we access the deeper layers of meaning in your experience.
- This helps reconnect to your inner guidance, not overthink.
We Unravel the Shame Story
Together, we notice the inner critic: what it protects but also avoids.
- This helps you soften old beliefs and relate to yourself with more compassion.
We Anchor the Shift in the Body
We mark moments of change, resting without guilt, saying no, feeling joy again, & root them somatically so they stick.
- This helps you access more presence, trust, & emotional bandwidth.
In essence:
I help you access the wisdom of your body and the intelligence of your intuition, so you can live from a place that feels grounded, aligned, and fully your own.

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
Your soul is done living by rules that were never written for you.
And something ancient & new is rising in you at the same time.
If you’re ready to follow the part of you that refuses to disappear, come closer.
Let’s step into the work together.
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.
