Welcome, the first thing you might have noticed is the missing “E” in my name. That’s all thanks to my Eastern European roots that followed me overseas to the great Pacific Northwest. I immigrated to the US when I was only 5 years old, but one thing I brought with me and kept is my native language. Thanks to that I’m proud to be a multi-cultural counselor who can provide counseling in both English and Russian.

After graduating high school, I pursued the field of finance for my bachelor’s degree and spent four years in the corporate world. During that time, my faith drew me towards helping others, volunteering and being a support and mentor for many young adults. Two years into my corporate job I realized my true calling and pursued a master’s degree in school counseling. I completed my program and have been working as a counselor since.

Helping people looks different depending on the counselor they might work with. When it comes to my practice, the focus comes from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy standpoint. This is a short-term therapeutic approach aimed at making different choices. Each one of us has the power to make choices that will lead to different outcomes and sometimes we just need a little guidance along the way. This includes learning new skills and exploring capabilities that we might not be utilizing.

When it comes to clientele, I specialize in working with youth. This includes teens, young adults, married people, and anyone else who thinks they turn 21 during every birthday. I am happy to support my clients through anxiety, conflicts with others, self-esteem issues, pursuing career change, and much more. I am very passionate about my work and its always rewarding to see that you were a piece of the puzzle that helped someone see the bigger picture and grow.

Finding the right fit for your counseling needs is very important so if you believe I might be a good fit, please complete the application below.

You are here. So, you are motivated to make change! I know life is challenging! It brings many hardships and sometimes, we might need a little support navigating them. My goal is to create a safe space where we can be open, honest, and authentic in our communication, and work collaboratively together to navigate the obstacles preventing you from reaching your full potential. I have experience working with youth and adults. I offer support in a wide range of issues including anxiety, family relationship concerns, racial identity, and trauma.

My name is Ira, and I am a counseling associate working towards licensure. I grew up in Eugene Oregon and have been in Portland for the past 13 years. I enjoy reading and learning, and spending quality time with family and friends.

I believe that by exploring our thoughts, feelings, and past experiences we can come to a better understanding of ourselves, and learn new ways to care for ourselves and others.

I've worked several years as a drug and alcohol counselor (CADC II) prior to becoming a mental health counseling associate, and have learned to use a variety of compassionate, person-centered counseling approaches including motivational interviewing, dialectical behavioral therapy, solution focused brief therapy, emotion focused therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

I've used a trauma-informed lens to support clients struggling with a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, anger problems, trauma responses, personality disorders, and environmental stressors.

I am interested in helping people overcome the obstacles that get in the way of their mental and emotional health. I have been assisting youth, families, and adults in this pursuit for the last 20 years.

I have experience doing counseling and casework in many settings which include residential treatment, schools, county agencies, and most recently community mental health. I use a broad spectrum of therapeutic tools to support client's where they are at in their journey.

Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing provide the general framework for my work with people.

I graduated from San Francisco State University with my Master's in Social Work in 2011 and have been licensed as an LCSW for the last 5 years. I believe the foundation of therapeutic work rests in a strong, caring, mutual connection.

I would appreciate the opportunity to build that connection and work on the goals and objectives you have for living a more fulfilling life with less emotional distress.

Mabuhay! (Welcome),

I commend you for taking the courageous step of seeking support and assistance to address your mental health and overall well-being. Opening up about your daily struggles requires tremendous vulnerability, and I want you to know that you are in a safe space. My goal is to meet you where you are on your journey towards wellness and provide the necessary support.

My name is Levin Manabat, and I am a BIPOC, Trauma-Focused Clinical Social Work Associate (CSWA), currently pursuing certification as a Sex Therapist with AASECT (American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists). I hold a Masters Degree in Social Work (MSW) with a specialization in clinical social work and Trauma Practice Specialization from Widener University. Additionally, I have a Bachelors Degree in Social Work (BSW), equipping me with knowledge in generalist social work practices such as case management, referral and resources, and advocacy. My credentials include a Clinical Social Work Associate (CSWA) license, Certified Financial Social Worker (CFSW), Clinical Military Counselor Certification (CMCC), and Certified Trauma Practitioner (CTP).

In my therapeutic approach, I utilize a trauma-focused lens, decolonizing social work practices, and a trauma-informed Motivational Interviewing (MI). I also employ a Strengths-Based perspective, recognizing and building upon your existing strengths. Some of the interventions I incorporate in my practice include various Somatic Techniques for grounding, as well as evidence-based treatment modalities from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (TF-ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and more.

In my sex therapy practice, we will explore and address a range of issues such as; communication in couples, fostering closeness, building playfulness, desire and arousal, gender and sexual diversity, sexual dysfunction, monogamy, polygamous relationships, sexual anxiety, mismatched desire, out-of-control sexual behavior, kink & BDSM, and many other areas of concern and interest.

Additionally, in my work as a financial social worker, we can delve into issues surrounding financial anxiety, impulsive spending, exploring triggers related to spending, developing a healthier relationship with money, and various other financial concerns.

Allow me to share a bit about myself. I identify as Filipino, and my personal life journey has provided me with a wealth of knowledge, skills, and experiences that may resonate with or differ from your own. As a former youth in the foster care system, a member of the LGBTQ+ and HIV/AIDS community, and an immigrant belonging to a minority group, I possess a deeper understanding of issues such as systemic racism, social stigma, discrimination, marginalization, and oppressive practices.

As part of my own self-care plan, I actively engage in mindfulness skills, meditation, and routinely head to the gym. During my free time, I find joy in traveling and camping with my significant other and our three dogs, exploring various national and state parks.

Please know that I am here to support you, and together we will work towards your goals and overall well-being.

You have found yourself in a strange new world, but feel you don't belong. Afraid to reveal your true self and what you believe. What fears do you need to face? What stands between you and your happiness? Is life possible after trauma? When you learn to wield your mind skillfully like a sword, there is no foe too great and no challenge too steep.

Specialties: I have a passion for helping the LGBTQ+ community with anxiety, depression, trauma, and addictive thoughts and behaviors. I strongly believe in practicing and teaching meditation skills for formal and informal practice, building self-confidence and awareness through Non-Dual and integral philosophy, and self-empowerment through support in navigating life's many challenges.

Modalities: I have primarily found Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Person Centered Therapy to be the pillars of my therapeutic style. Additionally I have completed basic training for EMDR which I have found to be using in addressing post-traumatic symptoms and self-defeating thoughts and beliefs that hold us back.

Education: I have earned my Bachelor's degree from Portland State University majoring in psychology and earned my Master's degree in Applied Psychological Sciences with a clinical focus from Pacific University.

Experience: I have extensive experience with teens and young adults. I worked at Albertina Kerr, an in-patient setting, for children and teens who were experiencing severe emotional, mental, and existential distress. I was an intern counselor in an outpatient setting at William Temple House where I primarily helped young adults. I was employed by Marion County Children's Behavioral Health as both a crisis mental health specialist and therapist for children and teens for crisis intake and ongoing outpatient therapy.

There seems to be a rhythm to life. An outflow and an inflow, an up and a down. There is also a clockwise spin to the future or counterclockwise spin to the past projections in our minds. The more to the outer edges there is chaos and life experienced when attached or avoiding. But the more toward the center and into our self we go, the more we reach a point of order, stillness, and life when unattached and accepting of what may come.
