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.

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.

"As an Indigenous therapist, I acknowledge that each person has unique challenges and strengths in navigating complex life experiences. My approach to therapy is grounded in a holistic perspective, recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. I draw on evidence-based practices like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to provide personalized and culturally sensitive care.  

My therapeutic style is collaborative and supportive. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without fear. Together, we'll work to develop coping skills, enhance self-awareness, and cultivate resilience. With a Master's degree in Applied Psychological Science focused on integrating counseling skills with research, and experience working with Indigenous communities, I bring a deep understanding of cultural nuances and systemic factors that impact mental health. I am committed to empowering clients to heal and grow and I believe everyone deserves access to quality mental health care. If you're ready to start therapy, I'm here to listen."

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.
