My name is Gabriel Trujillo. I am a husband, a father and a Licensed Professional Counselor. I strive to use my expertise to create a comfortable and safe environment for you to address your concern. I have been in the counseling field since 2011. In 2013 I graduated with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I became licensed in the state of Georgia in 2018. I have worked in different settings providing mental health services including university campuses, community clinics, online platforms and church offices. I am a CSAT (Certified Sex Addiction Therapist). CSATs are highly-trained trauma treatment specialists who help clients work through issues that untrained clinicians may leave unaddressed. CSATs understand the underlying wounds, experiences, patterns, and trauma that can lead to sexual addiction. I also specialize in the treatment of depression and anxiety using the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy modality (CBT). I am Level 1 Certified in Gottman Sound Marital House. This is an evidenced-based modality for couples' work. I believe counseling is a powerful process that changes the clinician and the individual both. Counseling compels us to take a hard look at reality and face the truth however tough and take one step toward our "ideal self." I like to listen and empower individuals to live their best life. I am also not afraid to gently confront and hold you accountable for your goals. Counseling themes I've worked with frequently include: Marital Conflict Sex Addiction Depression Anxiety Trauma I look forward to hearing from you.
