Should Therapists Specialize in Herpes

I believe that physchologists, therapists, psychotherapists, marriage counselors, priests, chaplains and anyone else dealing with human relationships should be required to know about herpes and how it affects people both physically, mentally and emotionally. In many cases, it can tend to wreak havoc on couples and individuals both emotionally and as far as the trust factor goes. It would also be beneficial if general practicioners, gynocologists and whoever people go to for their diagnosis should also recommend that newly diagnosed patients go and talk to a therapist or to find someone who they can talk to and relate with.

So I'm putting a call out to any and all therapists. If you offer genuine support for people who are living with genital herpes, please add your comments to this post. Many times people aren't ready to meet a group of people, but might be willing or interested in just talking one on one to a therapist.
