There are times when family and friends can be extremely helpful assisting us with our issues.  Often times they can help us determine our best options or encourage us to keep the faith.  There are times, however, when those closest to us may not ask the right questions or provide the best guidance.  Psychologists are trained to listen and to ask the right questions.  We do not make decisions for you; rather we help you sort out your options based on the values that are important to you.
