Yes, you are able to deduct your counseling and mental health expenses along with the mileage on your return as medical expenses. The IRS allows you to deduct qualified medical expenses that exceed 10% of your AGI (adjusted gross income) for the year.

Is this still accurate? I don't see anything about this on the IRS webpage for itemized medical deductions: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.irs.gov/publications/p502">https://www.irs.gov/publications/p502</a>
