About
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. Dr. Hurd is the author of "Grow Up America!" (2000) and "Bad Therapy, Good Therapy (and How to Tell the Difference)" (2011). He also writes the popular weekly column "Life's a Beach" published in several coastal Delaware newspapers and online. His website is www.DrHurd.com
