Welcome

My name is Michael Wilson, and I provide marriage and couples counseling in Tigard and Beaverton. I’ve been a therapist for 10 years, and my passion is helping couples achieve a more fulfilling and exciting relationship.

You’ve probably tried everything you can think of to find peace and contentment.  You may even have tried marriage counseling before, but still you feel caught in a storm of negativity and pain.  I named my practice Still Haven to convey this is a refuge amidst the storm.  A place where my passion – helping – meets your ache to be helped.

It is never too late to begin healing a marriage in distress.

I practice an effective method of marriage counseling called Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy.  The goal of EFT is to help you and your partner access your deeper emotions so you can reach for one another in conflict, rather than pull away.  If you’re curious, you can learn more about EFT by clicking here.

Please take your time to explore my website.  You’re not looking for just any therapist, but the right therapist for you.  Successful marriage counseling requires a quality relationship with a therapist you trust.   I encourage you to give me a call (or use my incredibly convenient online scheduler).  I’d love to speak with you directly so we can start your journey to a healthier, more fulfilling relationship today.

Counseling for Men

And for most men, that’s usually a feeling that they aren’t good enough for their partner. Maybe that’s how you feel. Maybe you came to this realization on your own, or, more likely, you’ve been told what you’re doing isn’t good enough and you should seek out counseling.
