I was born in Portland and grew up in the Northwest, graduating from Linfield College in McMinnville, OR before working as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor in Oregon for 17 years. I returned to graduate school at mid-life and earned a Masters Degree in Social Work from Eastern Washington University in 2006. I completed my clinical license (LCSW) in Montana, while working at the largest elementary school in the state for 8 years, before returning to Oregon to be closer to my family.

While in Montana I practiced individual and group therapy with children and their families. I also coached and refereed youth and middle school football for 10 years and use motivational interviewing and life coaching techniques in my daily practice.

I am a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT), which is short term in nature and focuses on providing you tools and new ways to think about your problems, so you can begin to start making needed changes in your life. There are no magic pills or painless solutions to most life issues, but CBT can give you the tools you need to help you make the small and larger changes needed for your life to start improving. It is up to you. 

I help people who realize that some things in their life are not working and need to change. The world has shifted and we need to adapt to rapidly changing events beyond our control; as well as get some daily relief from the ongoing stress, anxiety, poor sleep and depression many people face daily. 

Since February 2020 I have been doing remote Teletherapy with adults and older teens and found it works to help people change their lives. Be prepared to do your homework, I always give you more to do between our sessions, so you can progress at your own pace.

A warm hello and welcome!

I seek to encourage people in growing hope, in creating meaningfulness and realizing perspectives from life experiences, to self-empower and self-accept in a safe, confidential, non-judgmental space, free of stigma and shame.

Counseling can be transformative and healing. Counseling can also be challenging and uncomfortable at times.  It is important to take it at one’s own pace. There are many different counselors to choose from and it can be self-empowering to choose a counselor or therapist that feels right to you.

My counseling approach is respectful, trauma-informed, person-centered, strengths-based and holistic. I believe wellness is possible through creating self-care practices, identifying and expanding positive coping and individual strengths, growing resilience and cultivating inner wisdom.  

I have worked primarily with talk therapy, creating the space and time to listen and listen deeply to what matters, exploring goals, naming and understanding obstacles, creating measureable action steps towards your decided goals.

I hold a master of science in Rehabilitation Counseling from San Francisco State University and am a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC). I am a trained counseling professional specializing in working with people living with disabilities, chronic illness, co-occurring conditions, and/or existing diagnoses. 

Since 2011, I have trained and worked with culturally and socioeconomically diverse people in diverse settings: community mental health, addictions/harm reduction, re-entry, transitional housing, clinical counseling, Veterans in recovery, street outreach, Veterans and community crisis/suicide prevention/intervention, vocational rehabilitation/return-to-work, and vocational organic landscape gardening training and teaching.

I am an ally and advocate to Military/Veterans, Disability, LGBT+, and BIPOC communities. I am happy to now be working at Stronger Oregon via telehealth to expand access to counseling during this covid-19 experience. I am a registered licensed professional counselor (LPC) Associate in Oregon and as an associate, I receive regular clinical supervision from a licensed clinician. I will share more information at the first session.

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.

I hold a Master's degree in Social Work and am a licensed clinical social worker with a specialization in helping individuals facing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and grief. In the past, I worked as a Behavioral Health Clinician in an outpatient Primary Care office, providing short-term therapy to people of all ages, from teenagers to older adults.

I am here to support you in achieving your goals, and I promise to empower you, help you build on your strengths, teach you new coping skills, and assist you in taking action toward the life you deserve to live.

In my approach to therapy, I tend to use a holistic and person-centered method. I incorporate different techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), compassion-focused therapy, attachment-based therapy, mindfulness, eclectic therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Let's embark on this journey together!
