Intuitive Tarot Card Readings | Kingston, NY & Nearby Areas
Where symbolism becomes a doorway into your deeper truth.
A therapeutic way to work with the tarot cards, rooted in your body, guided by meaning, shaped by your lived experience.
What is a tarot card reading?
Tarot isn’t about predicting your fixed future.
It’s a way of working with symbolism to explore what’s already unfolding, emotionally, relationally, and intuitively.
In this work, tarot becomes a reflective language. The cards help surface themes, patterns, and inner movements that are already present, so they can be felt, explored, and integrated rather than analyzed from a distance.
When used inside therapy or coaching, tarot is not a performance or a script. It’s a doorway, one that helps insight land in the body and become something you can actually live.
Most common signs you might benefit from a tarot card reading
Maybe you’ve been pulling tarot cards on your own, late at night, between meetings, or in the middle of a spiral.
The readings hit. The archetypes feel accurate. The spreads mirror everything you’re moving through.
But nothing actually changes.
You still wake up anxious. You still feel stuck. The insight doesn’t translate into your relationships, your patterns, or how you live your life.
For some, tarot becomes overwhelming, the cards name truths they don’t know how to face alone. For others, it becomes confusing: different readers, different interpretations, no clear ground. And for many, there’s something deeper: you’ve never felt safe bringing your spiritual language into therapy, or you’ve had it minimized, dismissed, or treated as a problem.
So you’re left navigating endings, beginnings, identity shifts, and intuitive awakenings while feeling like you have to translate yourself.
You don’t need another reading.
You need a space where the symbols can land in your body, where insight becomes embodied movement, and where your cards, and your pain, are taken seriously.
What you’re really craving isn’t more information.
It’s steady, embodied change.
How do I know if I am ready for a tarot reading?
You may be ready if you’re less interested in answers and more interested in integration.
This work is for people who feel the pull of symbolism and intuition, but don’t want to keep holding it all alone.
You don’t need to know the cards. You don’t need the perfect question.
You just need a willingness to slow down, stay present with what’s emerging, and let insight turn into lived experience.
What Changes When Tarot Meets Therapy.
Tarot-informed therapy isn’t about predicting your future. It’s about helping you live differently in the present, using symbolism as a mirror for your patterns, your desires, and your nervous system. When the archetypes land in a space where your body feels safe, something shifts. You stop circling the same questions. You begin to understand why the same cards keep showing up. You start meeting the real part of you that’s been asking for change.
With this work, clients often begin to:
- See their patterns clearly — not as flaws, but as long-held strategies that make sense in the story of their life.
- Unhook from confusion — finally understanding what a card is pointing toward in the context of their real, lived experience.
- Take grounded action — small, aligned steps that match what their intuition has been trying to say all along.
- Feel less afraid of their emotions — because the symbolism gives shape and language to what feels overwhelming.
- Trust themselves again — not the cards instead of themselves, but the cards as a way back to themselves.
This is tarot not as entertainment, not as prediction, but as a doorway back into your own clarity, courage, and direction.
How I approach tarot card readings in Kingston and nearby areas
Tarot isn’t the session, it’s the doorway. Together, we use the cards as a mirror for what’s already alive in your body, your relationships, and your story. The method is simple, grounded, and never performative.
01 - We explore the archetype
A card shows us a theme you’re already living, grief, desire, boundaries, identity, transition. Instead of predicting the future, we work with what the symbol awakens in you.
02 - We follow what your body says next
Somatic cues guide the work. The cards help name something; your nervous system helps us feel it, move through it, or understand why it’s been so hard.
03 - We connect insight to action
Every symbol becomes a next step, a conversation to have, a boundary to set, a pattern to interrupt, a truth to claim. The work stays anchored in your lived reality.
04 - We integrate the spiritual with the psychological
Your intuition, dreams, rituals, and inner language matter. We bring them into therapy or coaching in a way that feels grounded, coherent, and not “too much.”
The cards help us name the moment, your body helps us transform it.

Hi, I’m Cris Maria Fort Garcés.
I bring tarot into my work as a therapist and coach, not as prediction, but as a symbolic map. My relationship with tarot began when I was sixteen, sitting with my Ecuadorian grandmother as she read the cards with a grounded, everyday magic.
She didn’t treat tarot as fortune-telling, but as a conversation, a way of noticing what was shifting inside and around you. That early experience stayed with me.
For nearly two decades, I’ve supported clients through threshold moments, when old identities loosen, new truths surface, and the nervous system asks for a different kind of support.
When woven into therapy or coaching, tarot helps bring the unconscious into the room in a way that feels safer and more accessible. We pair imagery with somatic tracking, relational presence, and grounded clinical work, so insight doesn’t stay abstract.
What topics can we explore in tarot card readings?
- Relationships and interpersonal dynamics
- Career choices and professional growth
- Personal challenges and life transitions
- Self-discovery and spiritual development
- Understanding repeating patterns or blocks
The cards don’t dictate answers. They help illuminate what’s already asking for your attention.
Tips and resources for getting the most out of your tarot reading
- Come with curiosity, not certainty
- Bring a question if you have one, but don’t force it
- Notice what resonates in your body during and after sessions
- Allow insight to unfold over time rather than rushing meaning
Tarot works best as one tool among many for personal growth and healing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is tarot evil or dangerous?
If tarot feels frightening, unsafe, or morally concerning to you, this probably isn’t the right fit, and that’s okay.
In my work, tarot is approached as a reflective, symbolic language, not something mystical or ominous. It’s used with care, consent, and respect, alongside therapy or coaching, to support insight and integration.
This work tends to resonate most with people who feel curious about symbolism and intuition, or at least open to engaging with tarot as a meaningful tool rather than something to fear.
Can tarot ever be unable to answer a question?
Yes. Sometimes the cards suggest that the timing isn’t right or that more information is needed. That can be valuable guidance in itself, inviting patience, reflection, or a different kind of question.
Is tarot a form of spiritual guidance?
Yes. Tarot can be a form of spiritual and intuitive guidance, especially when used for self-reflection and personal growth rather than prediction. It can help you connect with your intuition and view your situation from a wider perspective.
How accurate are tarot card readings?
Accuracy depends on the clarity of the question, the openness of the person receiving the reading, and the context in which the cards are explored. Tarot reflects the energies and circumstances present in the moment, and those can change as you do.
Can tarot help with clarity and decision-making?
Yes. By revealing patterns, highlighting possibilities, and offering new perspectives, tarot can support clearer and more confident decision-making, especially when it’s integrated into therapy or coaching.
Do you offer standalone tarot readings?
No. Tarot is not offered as a separate service. It’s one of many tools I may weave into therapy or coaching sessions, and it’s used only when it feels supportive, never as a scripted reading or fortune-telling experience.
What if I’m unsure about tarot or don’t know much about it?
That’s completely okay. You don’t need to know the cards or even believe in them. Tarot becomes a mirror, a way to explore metaphor, emotional truth, and pattern. If it resonates, we work with it. If not, we don’t.
How does tarot support the therapeutic or coaching process?
Rather than reading your future, we explore the cards together as a symbolic language. They often help surface what’s hard to name, emotional cycles, nervous system responses, and inner conflicts, and help us move from insight into integration.
Will this replace talk therapy or somatic work?
Never. Tarot is not a shortcut or substitute. It’s an optional enhancement, one more thread in a holistic approach that’s always anchored in your lived experience, body wisdom, and emotional regulation.
