I’ve benefited greatly by our mental healthy system, and so has my marriage. I think priest can help to a point, but when we needed help with more delicate matters I felt a 4th party was needed. You can find good therapist who care about their patients to not let them fall into self harm. Or who would fight parents pushing things like trans gender on their kids. It’s just the bad cases get more publicity then the good kind.

Just want to point out that the confessional is not the place for "working out your problems."  Some minimal direction is expected, but it's not the place to talk about your marriage, your relationships, or your general emotional/psychological problems. 

As to psychology broadly speaking, I think it's real and legitimate in theory, although in practice less-so.  There's also a difference between clinical psychology and research psychology (i.e., a difference between sitting on a couch and discussing your problems with a psychologist and reading psychology literature/research for insights into human behavior).

Personally, I have no use for psychologists, I think they are just one eyed men in a country of blind men. If the Catholic Faith is eliminated out of the equation of life as it is today, then psychologists are the way to go. That is why they are in business.

Yes, but there are Catholic psychologists out there who practice along the lines of Catholic principles.  I know one who is a Traditional Catholic, and have heard Ray Guarendi (EWTN) ... and they have a lot of insightful and potentially beneficial things to say.

Honestly another reason why I don't consider psychology legitimate is the invention of "psychopaths".  It's a term invented by people who operate by purely empathy-based "morality" and is clearly just an ad-hoc way of them saying that their hedonistic, and completely unrestrained, lifestyle, won't lead them to become evil monsters, because evil monsters, according to them, are literally born completely different than them, and therefore they're in no danger of becoming them, no matter how bad they get.
