Counseling & Tools for Your Marriage and Family
Yes, I take Kaiser Permanente Southern California. I am Mark Spurlock, a licensed marriage and family therapist, and I meet with adults by secure video anywhere in California. You can book directly below, and your coverage is checked before the first session so there are no surprises.
Most of the people I see come in for one of these:
I work with men and women. Individual counseling is a good place to start. When you have your footing, couples sessions are an option when you both want to work on the marriage.
Kaiser Permanente members in Southern California, from Los Angeles through San Diego, may be able to see me as an outside therapist under their Kaiser mental health benefit. Kaiser sometimes refers members to outside therapists like me. I practiced in San Diego for many years before moving north, and I still see Southern California clients by video every week.
Southern California runs on traffic and long workdays. If you are a Kaiser member in Los Angeles, Orange County, the Inland Empire, or San Diego, an hour of counseling should not cost you two more hours on the freeway. We meet by secure video at a set time. You book with me, and you meet with me every session, so you never have to tell your story twice. Kaiser decides what it covers with an outside therapist. Your coverage is checked before we meet, and you know where you stand before the first session.
I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy and other practical approaches, explained in plain language. You leave each session with one thing to practice.
Whatever brings you in rarely stays with one person. A short fuse, a bad stretch of sleep, a habit that got away from you: the people at home feel it. When one person gets steadier, the whole home feels that too. I have been counseling since 1998, and that is the work.
Yes. You book with me, and you meet with me every session.
Booking does not require one. Your Kaiser coverage is checked before we meet, and you are told where you stand before the first session. Your coverage is checked before we meet.
No. You can start without one. We look at your history and what your weeks look like, and I assess as part of our work together.
Start with individual counseling. Couples sessions are booked from the Marriage Counseling page when you are both ready.
Tell me before your next session. I take several plans; see all plans on the Find Your Plan page, and private pay is also available.
