Hi, We’re Will and Sharon!
As married marriage therapists… Relationships are kind of our thing.
As a husband and wife therapy team, we think a lot about what helps relationships heal. Healthy relationships are built through repair, honesty, vulnerability, and learning how to stay connected when things get hard.
We are also neurodivergent people parenting neurodivergent kids, which informs our understanding of communication, conflict, and family life.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which therapist is the right fit?
You do not have to figure that out alone. Reach out to Sharon or Will, and we can help you think through what you are looking for (individual therapy, couples therapy, support for a child or family, low-cost therapy, or a specific specialty) and connect you with the provider who seems like the best fit.
What if I want therapy but my partner does not?
You are still welcome to begin individual therapy. Sometimes one person developing more clarity, self-understanding, and capacity can change the way they show up in the relationship, even if their partner is not ready to attend therapy.
Is your practice affirming?
Yes. We welcome clients from many backgrounds, identities, relationships, faith traditions, and life experiences. Our goal is to offer therapy that is respectful, ethical, relational, and responsive to who you are, not to push you into a predetermined mold.
Do you offer in-person and online therapy?
Yes. We offer in-person therapy at our office in Tigard, Oregon, and online therapy for clients located in Oregon and Washington. Availability varies by provider.
What happens during a meet and greet?
A meet and greet is a brief consultation where you can share what you are looking for, ask questions, and get a sense of whether the therapist feels like a good fit. It is not a full therapy session, but it can help you take the next step with more clarity.
Do all therapists at Hale Counseling NW offer the same specialties?
No. Each therapist has different areas of focus, training, and availability. Some providers offer couples therapy, Christian counseling, play therapy, low-cost therapy, neurodivergent couples support, or work with specific age groups. You can learn more about each provider’s specialty on our Meet the Team page.
