Your Gifts Are Real. It's Time to Trust Them.
Where Tarot, Astrology, & Mysticism meet intuitive, spiritually curious women and LatinX folks who are done hiding the most real parts of themselves.

The Problem
You think you're just "too sensitive" or need more discipline. You're not, you don't.
You're thoughtful, intuitive: tracking synchronicities everywhere, pulling Tarot for late‑night clarity, diving into astrology threads, finding resonance at moon circles. Hope sparks each time: now your patterns finally make sense.
Then it fades: evenings hijacked by vicious thoughts, ("did I sound stupid?"), doom spirals into shame that leave you exhausted, drafting unsent texts for 3 hours.
Of course this keeps happening. Therapy unpacks childhood wounds but skips your spiritual downloads. Woo spaces deliver cosmic "aha"s but leave you nail biting on Monday's chest‑tightening Slack pings.
You're gathering brilliant pieces: journaling insights, clarifying cards, breath-work highs, but they stack up in your head while your body clenches with dread, untouched by insight.
You're not broken or undisciplined. Insight alone can't stop spirals wired into your body, that's why breakthroughs vanish, leaving you stuck with better stories but not better mornings.
You spiritual knowing needs somewhere to land.
So that chart reading informs real boundaries,
and downloads drop into your spine, flowing into choices that stick and feel good all week.
THE TRANSFORMATION
Less bracing. Less performing. More of whatever this is.
Something quiets. Not all at once, but on a random Wednesday, you realize you didn't spend the commute home dissecting every little thing you said in the meeting.
You catch the inner critic rev up and you don't follow it down the hole. You sit with a friend and actually say the hard thing, voice shaking a little, but you say it. The friendship doesn't collapse. You didn't know that was possible.
You start:
- Making decisions without polling three+ people to confirm you're not crazy.
- Leaving a conversation knowing you were honest, no frenetic, 48-hour replay.
- Choosing rest without earning it first, and not calling yourself lazy for it.
- Waking up on a Tuesday genuinely excited about what you're building.
And slowly, you stop waiting for it all to fall apart.
And when you're ready to go deeper, there's a space built exactly for that
THE SOLUTION
Where the shift stops visiting and starts staying.
You've had the tarot spread that cracked you open. You've seen yourself in your chart. You've left a ceremony knowing something shifted, and then watched real life slowly close back over it.
The insight was real. The integration just never had a place.
This is that place.
Together we slow down and work with the part of you
that's still bracing for impact,
the intuition
you keep second-guessing,
and
the spiritual tools you already love
but can't quite land in your body yet.
Our work may include:
- Somatic therapy to shift the survival patterns your body has been holding
- Astrology and tarot to illuminate what's moving through your life
- Ritual and intuitive practices to reconnect you with your own knowing
- Dream and symbol work to decode the language your unconscious is already using
Instead of collecting more explanations about yourself, you start living differently.
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.

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 feel the room shift before anyone says a word, and spend the next hour trying to figure out if it was about you
- You’re incredibly compassionate toward others but just plain awful to yourself.
- You go quiet in relationships rather than risk saying the thing that might push someone away.
- 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. Inside, you're white-knuckling it through most weeks.
You're not here to be convinced this work matters. You already know it does.
You just want a place where your mind, your body, and your spiritual life stop living in separate rooms.
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.
Healing That’s Mystical, Grounded, & Fully Embodied.
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 find and support that space together.
How I Work
Where Spiritual Insight Becomes Real Change
This process weaves together evidence-based somatic interventions & the spiritual, it feels a bit like remembering something ancient.
We Slow Down and Notice What's Real
We pay attention to your body, breath, and language in the present moment, because that's where your patterns live. You feel clear
instead of underwater.
We Go Beneath the Surface
Through
tarot, astrology, and symbolism, we access deeper layers of meaning of what you're living through. You stop spinning and start trusting what you know.
We Unravel the Story You Inherited
We get curious about your inner critic, what it's protecting, what it's afraid of. Rigid beliefs soften.
The cruelty toward yourself quietly loses its grip.
We Anchor the Shift in Your Body
We mark the moments of change,
resting without guilt, saying no, feeling joy again, and root them somatically, so they don't evaporate.
This is how insight stops being something you understand and starts being something you live.
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.

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.
