Therapy in Saugerties, NY | Counselor Cris Fort
Most women arrive to their first session carrying the weight of everything they have been holding together. The tightness in your chest, the constant thoughts, the quiet exhaustion all belong here. This is where it begins to soften. In Saugerties, the calm rhythm of the Hudson River and the creative pulse of the town seem to mirror the healing process. By the end of a session, clients often describe feeling lighter, softer, and more at ease. What entered as tension leaves as clarity and calm. You do not have to arrive ready or composed. You only need to come as you are. My work as an energy coach and soul healer is to help you leave with more presence, balance, and trust in your own inner rhythm.
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.
Free 20-Minute Discovery Call
A no-pressure space to sense resonance, ask questions, and feel whether this work is aligned with your soul’s current threshold.
Sacred Intake + Elemental Assessment
Before we begin, you’ll receive a set of reflective prompts and guided inquiries to help map your internal landscape, what’s shifting, unraveling, or calling for integration. This includes an elemental assessment to reveal imbalances across earth, air, fire, and water. We’ll then meet live to orient together, set intentions, and prepare the ground for our work.

Somatic Therapy
LEARN MOREHealing through the body is simple but not easy. It asks you to listen rather than fix, to slow down instead of push forward. In this process, the mind follows the body, not the other way around, and something within you begins to align effortlessly.
Shadow Work Therapy
LEARN MOREIn the quiet space between reaction and reflection, something sacred happens. The shadow begins to soften. It no longer feels like a threat but a teacher, one that shows you what needs compassion instead of control.
Expressive eco art therapy for emotional healing
LEARN MOREYou may arrive to eco art therapy unsure of what to say, but as your hands start to move, your emotions begin to speak. Working with color, texture, and natural elements helps you release tension and express what has been hidden.
By the end, most clients feel a sense of calm curiosity and openness. What started as overwhelm becomes gentle clarity through the simple act of creating.
Gestalt Therapy
LEARN MOREEvery session becomes an experiment in aliveness. You explore what happens when you express what’s been silenced or move toward what’s been avoided. This process restores connection between mind and body, thought and feeling, transforming self-awareness into action and compassion.

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.

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.

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.

How does virtual therapy work?
Many clients join their first online session unsure of what to expect, and within minutes, they begin to relax. We meet weekly for 45 minutes through a secure, HIPAA-compliant Zoom link. By the end of the session, what once felt distant becomes an experience of calm connection, even through the screen.
What kind of therapy do you offer?
I offer somatic therapy, gestalt therapy, shadow work therapy, and eco art therapy, combining intuitive guidance, mindful awareness, and creative expression to foster emotional clarity.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule a session?
If something changes, please reach out at least 48 hours before your appointment. Sessions canceled later are charged in full. You may reschedule up to four times per year with notice at no cost. Honoring this rhythm helps maintain continuity and supports your process.
What if I’m not sure this is the right fit?
It’s completely normal to feel unsure at first. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so you can sense the tone and flow of the work before committing. Most clients leave that call feeling calm and confident about their next step.
With whom do you work and where?
I work online with women and gender-expansive adults who live in Saugerties NY and are ready to experience emotional and energetic transformation. Clients often arrive feeling tense and leave with renewed calm and grounded awareness.
