“To be honest! I was hesitant during my first session. I didn't know what to expect or if this would help me.
But I'm so glad I gave him a chance. Gabriel Martinez made me feel heard, understood, and comfortable from the start; his approach was caring and insightful. After my first session, I felt better and more hopeful; I can honestly say I now look forward to every session. I highly recommend him!”

Getting to know Gabriel Martinez
Gabriel (Gabe) completed a Master's in Social Work degree with a Military Social Work certification at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, FL, in 2016. He also earned his Bachelor's in Spanish Literature from Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA, in 2008. Gabe is a Licensed Clinical Social Work Intern in the State of Florida. After his own diagnosis in March 2014, Gabriel dedicated his talents to the HIV field. Following the PULSE nightclub tragedy, he expanded his efforts to support the LGBTQ community, having been directly impacted by the event.
As a result, Gabe became the Director of Clinical Services at the LGBT Center in Orlando, overseeing all testing and counseling services. He then accepted the Sexual Wellness Coordinator position at the University of Central Florida's Wellness and Health Promotion Services department, providing free HIV testing, counseling, and linkage services to the UCF student population. Gabe also began his own research and presented his findings at the 2018 United States Conference on AIDS in Orlando, FL, with a presentation titled *It Starts with You: Envisioning Sex Education for Gay Youth*. This led to an invitation to speak at the 2018 Biomedical HIV Prevention Conference in Los Angeles, California, as a sponsored professional.
In August 2019, Gabe moved to South Florida and briefly served as the MSM Coordinator at the Florida Department of Health in Broward County. In February 2020, he relocated to Miami and assisted with the grand opening of a new HIV/STD testing clinic in Little Havana for Independent Medical Group, LLC, serving the disenfranchised community. Gabe now joins Prevail and Progress Counseling with hopes of becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and continuing to serve the community he is deeply passionate about.
