I have a feeling that many here in the coffee room are uncomfortable with therapy and/or medications.

I would be uncomfortable seeing or recommending a therapist who makes such assumptions. Because this is a frum forum we must all be uncomfortable with therapy or meds? That is somewhat a ‘dark ages’ attitude toward the frum community that will not help you in your practice. Although there are certain groups of people/communities who seem to avoid intervention, generalizing these attitudes to frum Jews across the globe would be an injustice.
