Some peeps really do still think that counselors and therapists are for crazy people, or people with really "serious" problems only. Would make them feel too vulnerable. Plus therapists won't come to your house.

And I think some people don't know anybody who has ever gone to a therapist, and it honestly might not even occur to them?

I have only seen the show a couple of times, and honestly I think the only time I felt like someone would be embarrased - or maybe should - was this pontificating dad whose idea of helping and disciplining  his son about homework was to berate and belittle him. He was horrible, but he thought he was right on the money.
