It's easy to be "out" about it at my job and nobody asks me for details or treats me any differently. In fact, our company has plenty of programs that encourage counseling when needed, in house and out so I don't ever feel like I need to hide the fact that I'm seeing someone.

It's great you can do that: be open about it at work. I'm guessing it's not like that for most people.
In a work environment it can definitely work against you. A promotion may pass me by, for example, because I'm "crazy". There is a stigma.
Besides I'm way too paranoid about my privacy to ever reveal such information.
I'm also very surprised to learn several people here recommended their therapist. I would NEVER do that
I'd be too jealous.
The idea that my therapist has other patients is painful enough but at least I don't know who they are. But if I knew somebody and they went to see my therapist? That would cause me too much pain honestly.
