It seems to me that the article's author is trying to do the opposite of generalize. They are in fact saying that generalizing is not good; specifically that assuming everyone needs therapy for everything might not be a good stance.

Personally it reads like they are talking about a problem they perceive the world is doing. If therapy was the “go to” thing, wouldn’t more people be in it? Wouldn’t it be more accessible by now? Maybe 20% of people seek it in a year.

What about how many people see the “go to” thing as a sign of weakness? It’s just hard to make these blanket statements, that’s why I commented.
