I like to take a collaborative approach to therapy to help you identify what your goals are to achieving sexual wellness.

Today’s times are exceptionally trying, and can exacerbate a variety of underlying clinical concerns. Like many presenting concerns within the broader realm of mental health; eating disorders, anxiety, trauma, transitional/relational distress, and depression tend to thrive in isolation. I have over six years of experience, as I welcome individuals and couples. I believe the therapeutic process to be collaborative and am inspired by community and human resilience. The belief that support and progress can be achieved via authentic connection; feeling understood within the broader context of the illness you may be silently battling.

Your child is struggling. You want to be able to fix it, but after months, you are at your wit's end. The embarrassing tantrums are out of hand. Maybe you’ve gotten calls from their school. It's clear to you that they are acting out because they are anxious, have trouble with social connections, or aren't getting enough sleep. You’ve tried countless things and different approaches but still see no progress. No book or podcast can tell you how to coach them through their troubles. Watching your child struggle breaks your heart because you don’t know how to provide them with relief. You feel hopeless.

You have been disconnected from yourself, others, your body for too long. Trying to find your way back home has felt impossible. Your needs and identity are a long-away dream and anger and resentment seem your constant companions. You used to dance in the kitchen and now stand with gritted teeth washing dishes and packing lunches, life feels dull and marked with monotony. Visions of lovely lunches feel a million year ago as you eat your kids PB&J crust...again. How will you find yourself again when there is no time for self care and the mental load is overwhelming?

I work collaboratively with couples through Emotionally-Focused therapy and utilize prepare/enrich for pre marital.
You thought the relationship between you and your partner would be a place that was sacred and full of love. Instead, it’s become a source of pain. You’re afraid of being completely vulnerable with your partner because the sense of safety you once felt is no longer there. You imagined your lives would be harmonious and vibrant, but the relationship has grown heavy. You’re lifting it alone. You wish your partner could see how much you need them. After all, Sue Johnson said, “To be human is to need others, and this is no flaw or weakness.”

My ideal client recognizes the interdependence of body, mind, and spirit. They know that mental health influences physical health, and the reverse is also true. For example, sometimes depression is not just a mood disturbance, but it can also be a symptom of hormonal imbalance, or perhaps an under-functioning thyroid gland. My clients appreciate an integrative and holistic approach to wellness that respects their intelligence and honors their values. They feel supported with compassionate, relationship-based care and empowered with accurate health information and guidance.

Maybe you’re done with saying yes to everyone and everything, and you’re burnt out? Maybe there are relationships that are not healthy for you, and you’re trying to change those dynamics.

Realism, Personal Responsibility, Individualism. All worthy goals! Coaching with Dr. Michael Hurd is solution-focused and goal-oriented. Time is spent discussing your problems in the here-and-now, with reference to your background and your childhood only when relevant. Together we target self-defeating behaviors and thinking, rather than focusing on psychopathology. Dr. Hurd provides answers in terms you can understand, helping you find solutions to problems in the here-and-now, with a special emphasis on discovering alternatives to the "victim mentality" of blaming everything on your family, "society" or your biological make-up.

I believe that symptoms are like guideposts, signaling opportunities for growth. Expressed as anxiety, depression or even chronic pain, these unwelcome experiences actually show us where to begin the work of bringing life back into balance. My clients are typically outwardly successful people who seem to be traversing their busy lives with ease, while secretly they struggle with issues like chronic pain, anxiety, depression and disconnection from self and others. I work within a mind-body framework to uncover and heal the root causes of a client's symptoms so that they can experience lasting relief.
