Hmmm as someone who has gone through this, it's not much of a psychological adjustment if you once functioned well on hearing aids as dberge320 says she did. CIs do not make you into a hearing person but rather at best, a highly functioning hoh person. Also dberge may not have the funds to see a psychologist - they are not cheap! The only situation I think she could use it if she didn't get the results that she hoped for.
I'd certainly agree that parents of deaf children should receive counselling though to prepare them for the journey ahead, to have realistic expectations and for encouragement to have their children get access to other kids/families in their situation rather than complete isolation.
