This list contains stories where a Harry Potter character visits a psychologist, counselor, or gets involved in some other type of therapy. Stories where the character suffers from a mental disorder only count if the character is receiving some type of professional psychological help for the disease. The character involved in therapy must be magical, rather than a muggle (therefore, non-magic AU stories do not count in this category).
