What's the deal on counseling?

One thing that I have not spoken about is counseling, Christian or otherwise. I know that people speak about the benefits but I have never gone. It is weird but somehow I feel like it is the last thing that stands between me and fully admitting that I suffer from depression. I suffer from depression. I need to repeat it and know that it is okay. Maybe this is time to finally make the step that my wife has been asking me to do for way too long now. I suffer from depression. I said it again and it is okay. Anybody go to counseling? What do you do, just walk in and say "Hi, I'm Paul, I suffer from depression, nice couch, what's your name?"? I suffer from depression. At least I can say it here and be okay. It's time to make the next step, thanks for listening.
