Gerardo Guzman, LMSW

Welcome!

Education

I graduated from the University of Houston College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work. I am a Licensed Master Social Worker in Texas, currently working under the professional and clinical supervision of Dayna Gurley, LCSW-S, CCTS, ACM. With a solid psychology foundation and advanced social work training, I bring a unique blend of expertise as a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC). My academic background, coupled with two years of professional experience, equips me to address the complex interplay of psychological, social, and environmental factors influencing addiction, trauma, anxiety, and depression.

My counseling focus

• Addiction
• Trauma
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Relationships
• Adjustment issues

My approach

Grounded in trauma-informed care and evidence-based practices, my counseling style is empathetic, strengths-based, and culturally sensitive. I believe in creating a safe and validating space for clients to explore their experiences, process emotions, and develop resilience in the face of adversity. Through a combination of psychoeducation, skill-building, and therapeutic interventions, I aim to empower clients to heal from past traumas, manage anxiety and depression symptoms, and cultivate meaningful change in their lives.
