People are skeptical of the mental health community for two reasons
1: The social stigma of being “crazy” or “damaged good” this can easily cause you to be dropped to second or third tier status on the shidduch circut
2: The commonly held belief that all psychiatrists/counslers/psychotherapists have an agenda to get frum people to abandon yiddishkeit. Only those therapists that answer directly to a Rav are kosher..and even in those instances you still run into the stigma issue.
