Getting to know Jason Viray
I am a first-generation Filipino American who was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. I was schooled in the thought of “work hard and don’t waste time” by a pair of Filipino immigrants from humble beginnings who succeeded in providing a decent life in the US. My identity was shaped by the experiences of my parents—a father who served in the military and a mother who was an RN learning a new culture—and my own experiences as a first-generation Filipino American. Experiencing the conflict of dueling identities led to feelings of disconnect, loneliness, anxiety, isolation, and a never-ending journey of finding peace within myself. My mission is to reign in my life experience and education in order to be a support who can help you achieve your goals through small, achievable steps.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology from California State University, Long Beach, and my Master’s in Social Work from Azusa Pacific University in Azusa. Throughout my schooling, I was employed at Hillsides in Pasadena for 15 years, where I learned firsthand how to be an impactful presence in the lives of young men, women, and families in the foster care system. Soon after my master’s degree, I worked with the birth-to-five population and their families at the Violence Intervention Program, where I sharpened my clinical tools. Today, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for the Los Angeles Department of Health Services on a team serving the needs of those in the justice system.
In my free time, I am a husband, father, and committed dog owner who enjoys spending time with my family, staying in shape, attending sporting events, and learning new things about how to better my community and myself. I have been a DJ for over 25 years in various settings—large sporting events, weddings, promotional events—and through this experience, I’ve learned how to read a room and provide the right ambiance for the appropriate occasions.
