Regarding Br. Lee's opinion against psychologists, he is not the only Christian who is against psychologists. There are many Christian denominations which even discourage visiting general doctors.

I googled and found the links below against psychology.

These overly long posts make it difficult to respond without picking on a couple points. First of all, I can go on line and find some Christian saying anything I want to hear. I read the 2nd link above, and found it to be extremely poorly written -- heaps of condemnation without a sober argument that made sense. If you want to quote something specific, then great.

You mentioned psychologists prescribing meds to some saints. They don't do that, Psychiatrists do. There's a world of difference between the two.

WL and the Blendeds berated any kind of Christian help outside of there ministry. They categorically condemned all contemporary Christian literature. Except for Christian authors now deceased, none was ever spoken highly of. I have heard both Billy Graham ("anyone can get people saved, but BG doesn't see the church") and James Dobson ("parents used to go to Dr. Spock, but now they all go to Dobson" belittled publicly. I have heard all Christian "self-help" ridiculed as "chicken soup for the soul."
