I specialize in supporting individuals navigating trauma, sex therapy, and financial well-being. Using a trauma-focused lens and decolonized practices, I integrate Motivational Interviewing, Strengths-Based Approach, Somatic Techniques, and evidence-based modalities like CBT, TF-ACT, and SFT. In sex therapy, we’ll address concerns like communication, intimacy, desire, sexual diversity, kink, and sexual anxiety. As a financial social worker, I help clients manage financial anxiety, impulsive spending, and build healthier money relationships. More info about me at: manabatllc.clientsecure.me I’m a Trauma-Focused Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in multiple states. I offer a safe, compassionate space to address trauma, mental health, addiction, sexual frustrations, and financial wellness. My goal is to meet you where you are and provide you a tailored support in your wellness journey. As a Filipino immigrant, former foster youth, and member of the LGBTQ+ and HIV/AIDS community, I bring lived experience with systemic racism, oppression, stigma, and marginalization. When I’m not a therapist or helping our community; I take care of myself through mindfulness, meditation, working out, and exploring nature with my husband our 3 dogs.
