Counseling & Tools for Your Marriage and Family
Yes, I take Sharp Health Plan. 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.
Sharp Health Plan members in San Diego County can book with me directly. I practiced in San Diego for many years, and I know the community, the commute, and the pressure that comes with it. Online counseling means no drive across town after work.
From Oceanside to Chula Vista and out to East County, getting to an office after work can take longer than the session itself. By video, you can meet from home, from a private office, or from your car before you pick up the kids. I work with husbands, wives, and individuals who are tired of the same argument and the same promises to do better. We keep it practical, with one clear step each 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.
No. We meet by secure video wherever you have a private spot, and I see Sharp members across San Diego County that way. Most plans cover online counseling by secure video under the mental health benefit. Your coverage is checked before we meet, so you know before the first session.
No. We meet by secure video, so it does not matter where in San Diego County you live, as long as you are in California during the session.
It depends on your plan. Your coverage is checked before we meet. Individual counseling is a good place to start. When you are both ready, couples sessions are booked from the Marriage Counseling page.
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.
