Dealbreaker for you, perhaps. Not everyone is so gung-ho about telling an "expert" their problems. Every professional psychologist I've ever spoken to was not only a simpleton but a know-it-all simpleton at that. Think Good Will Hunting.
"Let's talk it out" is not the solution for everyone, and if Cyn just posted a thread about how 'talking about your problems' is not the most effective route for everyone, and the ones who didn't actually suffered less mental and physical problems than those who did.
I'm not saying therapists don't work for some (or even most), but keep in mind that it's not always the best solution nor does refusal to go to therapy constitute stubbornness, arrogance or ignorance.
