Therapy in Woodstock, NY | Counselor Cris Fort
Nestled in the Catskill Mountains, Woodstock has long been a home for seekers, artists, and dreamers. It’s a place where creativity meets consciousness and where energy work feels especially alive. Here, I hold space for women who are ready to slow down, listen within, and reconnect with their essence. As an energy coach and soul healer, I support you in releasing the energetic patterns that keep you repeating old stories. Through gentle but powerful methods, we work together to open your energy field, clear emotional weight, and activate the inner guidance that already lives within you. Woodstock’s vibrant yet peaceful spirit naturally supports transformation. Surrounded by trees, music, and the hum of life, healing here feels like a homecoming to your true self.
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 MOREWhat if healing began in silence instead of thought? Somatic psychotherapy invites you to notice what your body has been trying to say all along. In that noticing, patterns unwind, tension loosens, and the nervous system learns what peace actually feels like.
Shadow Work Therapy
LEARN MOREEvery person holds pieces of themselves they once believed unworthy of love. This process invites you to bring them back with gentleness, not judgment. As you make contact with what’s been buried, energy that was stuck begins to move, and clarity replaces confusion.
Expressive eco art therapy for emotional healing
LEARN MOREGrounded in creativity and mindfulness, eco art therapy offers a tactile way to explore your emotions. Using materials gathered from nature stone, wood, soil, or color, you’re encouraged to express inner feelings that words might not capture.
The process becomes a gentle return to your senses and your emotional truth. Rather than striving for perfection, you’re invited to release, rediscover, and reconnect through the act of creation.
Gestalt Therapy
LEARN MOREThe process invites curiosity. Here, creativity and consciousness merge, allowing you to explore yourself as both observer and participant. In session, you don’t just talk about your life, you live it, moment by moment, through movement, reflection, and dialogue. Each discovery helps reconnect the parts of you that have longed to belong to one another.

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.
