I am a psychologist and I often use ideas from Pirkei Avot with both Jewish and Non Jewish patients. I also use ideas from Zen Buddhism and other religions to help people. I have worked with Muslims, Frum Jews, Christians of various sorts, and no one has ever left their religion because of therapy. I fact, no matter what religion a patient is, I harness their own faith to help them grow. That comment made by the woman in this thread who did medical billing about psychologists being crazy is silly and foolish and is it’s own form of ???? ??? The fact is that listening to people’s ???? tzoros all day long has made me more tolerant, understanding and accepting of people. It has taught me greatest patience. To address what the original poster said, Yes, psychology helps and yes, Psychologists can help you. If you would like to discuss this further or want help in finding a psychologist who is respectful of religion and Judaism, we can talk further, perhaps start a new thread.
