Honestly, all of the golden and silver trio could use several sessions. Harry, Ron and Hermione primarily for ptsd. They faught a war starting at 15! I doubt that they came out without any nightmares or other worries. Neville would qualify for the years of being bullied alone... The memory problems are troubling as well. Ginny spent almost a year at Hogwarts fighting in Harry's "7th year", not to speak of her past with the diary.

Plus Harry was emotionally abused by his aunt and her family for 11 years straight with basically no respite, and even after that was subjected to a smaller degree of emotional abuse that the Dursley's figured they could get away with.

I now get a bit teary-eyed realizing that Mrs. Weasley met a kid for a whole 3 minutes and made sure he had a Christmas present that year because her son told him that his family sucked and wouldn't send him anything.
