I am Mark Spurlock, a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, license 45318. I have been counseling since 1998 and licensed since 2008. This page is for pastors, attorneys, mediators, and fellow therapists who want to send someone to me.
Who I see
Adults, 18 and older, anywhere in California.
Individuals: ADHD, anger, anxiety and panic, depression, trauma, childhood trauma, addiction, and men’s issues.
Couples: married and premarital.
Christian Counseling is available for individuals and couples.
All sessions are by secure video, 53 to 60 minutes.
Insurance and fees
Many major insurance plans are accepted. The client checks their plan at marriageandfamily.com/find-your-plan and books from there.
Private pay: 150 dollars per individual session, 200 dollars per couples session. A sliding fee scale is available.
How to refer
Give the person this website, marriageandfamily.com, or the phone number, (619) 813-0315. Calls and texts reach me anywhere in California.
The person checks their plan and books their own first session. I do not take client information from a third party by email, because email is not private.
If you want to speak with me first about whether someone is a fit, call or write to info@marriageandfamily.com with no client details. I reply within two business days.
If someone is in danger, call or text 988, or call 911.
With the client’s written authorization, I will confirm that they started and send a short update when it helps their care. Without it, I cannot confirm that anyone contacted me.
If someone is not a fit, I give three referrals, as I do in all my practice.
