If you have an important decision in your life to make, a psychotherapist can give you helpful advice which can assist you while you weigh the pros and cons.
However, a therapist can't make that decision for you.
For example, if you're considering going to college for the first time, a competent therapist can give you advice which can help you ultimately make your decision. But it's up to you whether you want to go to college or not.
And I think that's a good thing. If I have an important life decision to make, I wouldn't want somebody else to make that choice for me. I'd rather make the decision myself. It's my life, after all.
