I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate working towards licensure. I was born and raised in Oregon. On my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, hiking with my dogs, kayaking, and walking along the Oregon coast. ​

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.

Hello, my name is Brian and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I've been working as a mental health professional with hospice patients and families for over 7 years. I will work with you individually to address a range of life challenges including anxiety, depression, healing from trauma, grief, and other life transitions. I like to incorporate mindfulness practices and self-awareness in therapy.

I hold a masters degree in social work from Portland State University. My professional experience has included working with individuals and families as patients near the end of life. Many of the old ways of coping don’t work well anymore and the social worker helps individuals and families to move closer to a place of acceptance in their heart and mind as the individual and family transition together.

Purposeful change comes from acting in a different way than we are now, influencing thought patterns, and focusing on feelings and how they impact our choices. Purposeful change is rarely a comfortable process but the outcome is worth the effort. My goal is to empower you to become someone you are proud to be.

Dealing with challenges and stressors is an unavoidable part of our human experience, and it can certainly leave an unwanted impact in our life. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I aim to look at the whole person, understanding how all the aspects of our lives come together to impact our minds and bodies. Healing happens when all parts of the person are aligned and integrated.

I take a holistic, strengths-based approach to therapy, working with clients to improve distress tolerance and emotion regulation, heal their nervous system, and strengthen core beliefs and values. I am passionate about working with females; in adolescence, young adulthood, and into their 30s. My therapeutic orientation draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and somatic-based practices. 

My goal is to provide a safe space for clients to express what is on their minds, learn beneficial coping skills, understand the mind-body connection, and build a sense of connection with themselves and others.

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.

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.
