Actually, child counselors do work some wonders. Sometimes that kind of setting is necessary to find out what problems are going on and if they are all the fault of the child, if at all. And most of the time the child isn't being interviewed directly, it's the psychologist talking with the parent and then the psychologist taking notes on how he/she interacts with the toys and settings presented to him/her.

Though in order to qualify for certain types of counseling, some evidence of trouble has to be present and not just a tired parent wanting chill pills for an overly-active child. So yeah, there's nothing wrong with counseling, it's what kind you go to and how they go about treating.
