Do you find psychological counseling to be helpful after the surgery?

I have made a mistake. I should have found a psychologist/therapist long before now. I did see one about 2 mths. ago but her sessions are only 30 min. long. I am on Humana Gold Classic HMO insurance, and certain therapists actually only do 30 min. sessions. I am in desperate need to get back in to one-on-one counseling to help me deal with the emotional "food issues" that are still with me since the surgery. Ex. wanting to eat when not hungry, etc. I can go to the monthly support group, and have, but I really need one-on-one counseling before I go back to the monthly support groups. I need to feel more confident in myself before I can be in a large support group. Anyone else feel this way? Is counseling helpful for you? I am currently in the process of finding a new psychologist or therapist who will counsel for 40 min-an hr. a session. The last therapist I saw was very good, but she only does 30 min. sessions and it's for the same co-pay as it would be for someone who does longer sessions. I have to find another therapist. Just wanting to post my thoughts. Please respond if you are in the same boat.
