What type of counseling?

Medical expenses are any costs incurred in the prevention or treatment of injury or disease. Medical expenses include health and dental insurance premiums, doctor and hospital visits, co-pays, prescription and over-the-counter drugs, glasses and contacts, crutches, and wheelchairs, to name a few.

Yes, that would be an allowable medical expense. Medical expenses are itemized deductions, the deductible total of which is limited to the amount over 7.5% of your adjusted gross income.
