Therapy in Hudson, NY | Psychotherapist Cris Maria Fort Garcés
Softly, the session begins. Slowly, the noise of the outside world fades and your breath starts to find its rhythm again. Gently, you begin to feel the space holding you, open, quiet, and steady. Within this container, connection becomes the pathway to healing. Creatively alive and emotionally rich, Hudson offers the perfect atmosphere for this kind of work. Emotionally, many arrive feeling scattered or unseen, yet through presence and energy alignment, they rediscover calm and connection. By the end, the space feels like an anchor, a reminder that you can come home to yourself at any time. Truly, each session is an experience of connection. Energy flows, emotions move, and what once felt separate begins to harmonize again.
Here’s what our work might look like:
This is a living, breathing container, rooted in clinical depth, mystical tradition, and intuitive truth. It meets you where you are and evolves as you do.
Here’s what our work might look like:
We Begin in the Real Moment
We don’t have to dig through your entire history to start healing, we begin with what’s happening
right now: your breath, your posture, the tightness in your throat, the image you can’t shake.
We Drop Into the Body (and the Beyond)
Together, we drop in slowly and intentionally, tracking sensation, emotion, and the symbolic language of your body. We name what’s been exiled, what’s been performing, and what’s quietly asking to be witnessed.
We Unwind Shame, Self-Attack, and Old Survival Roles
Your body holds the places where you learned to shrink, overgive, or turn against yourself. We track these patterns with compassion until they soften, loosen, and lose authority.
We Integrate the Work Into How You Live, Love, and Lead
Your insights don’t stay in the room, they become embodied. You speak up without collapsing, rest without guilt, show up without masking, and move through your days with more presence and fewer spirals.

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.

FAQ about my psychotherapy services
How does virtual therapy work?
Consistently structured yet deeply personal, virtual sessions create a space of connection even through a screen. Every week, we meet for 45 minutes through a secure, HIPAA-compliant Zoom link. Gradually, you’ll notice how each meeting builds rhythm, safety, and depth, allowing the process to unfold naturally.
What kind of therapy do you offer?
My sessions draw from somatic therapy, gestalt therapy, shadow work therapy, and eco art therapy. These practices invite you to reconnect with your body, spirit, and intuition through grounded awareness.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule a session?
Respectfully maintaining the flow of our work is important. If you need to cancel or change your session, please reach out at least 48 hours in advance. Cancellations made later are billed in full. Flexibly, you may cancel up to four times per year with notice at no cost, which helps preserve both continuity and commitment.
What if I’m not sure this is the right fit?
Gently exploring is part of the process. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so you can experience the tone and connection of the work before beginning. Usually, this first meeting brings clarity about whether this path feels aligned with what you need.
