Counseling & Tools for Your Marriage and Family
With Mark Spurlock, LMFT 45318, by secure video across California.
Low energy. Pulling away from people you love. Going through the motions. Depression can make even small tasks feel heavy, and it often hides behind "I am just tired." I work with men and women by secure video anywhere in California. We look at what is driving it and build a plan forward, one step at a time.
In men, depression often shows up differently: irritability, anger, overwork, or shutting down. It can go unnoticed for years because it does not look like sadness.
Depression goes quiet at home. A spouse can feel shut out and start to wonder what they did wrong. Children notice a parent who is in the room but not present. This is not a failure of love. It is a load that has become too heavy, and it can be lifted.
There is no rush to "feel better." We stay with what is true today and take the next honest step.
Book with Mark. Your insurance is checked before the session. We meet by secure video from anywhere private. You tell me what has been happening. I ask direct questions and listen. Before we finish, we agree on one clear first step.
Being worn out improves with rest. Depression usually does not. If low mood or loss of interest has lasted two weeks or more, it is worth a conversation.
For many people, yes. For others, therapy and medication together work best. As a therapist I do not prescribe, and I can work alongside your physician or psychiatrist.
That is the depression talking, and it is common. Booking one session is the only step you need today. We take it from there.
You can come in yourself. One steadier person in a home changes the home. Couples sessions are also available from the Marriage Counseling page.
Many major plans are accepted. Use "Check my insurance" to find your plan and book. Private pay is also available.
If you are thinking about ending your life, call or text 988 now, or go to the nearest emergency room. This website and online booking are not for emergencies.
No insurance? See private pay.
