Men will LITERALLY construct an entire persona based around their phobias as a result of trauma over witnessing the murder of their parents during a mugging orchestrated by crime bosses and spend millions of dollars on toys and gadgets to act out revenge fantasies and calling it vigilante justice rather than go to therapy.
Doesn’t he do both?
Bruce Wayne goes to therapy, not Batman, it's different (canonically).
So uh … his therapist must suck for not treating that borderline Personality Disorder and uncovering his dissociative identity disorder
Given that the most successful therapists in Gotham are people like Dr. Harleen Quinzel, I'm not confident they can overlook their own issues.
Batman IS the primary personality and he's never gone to therapy, so theres really nothing the Therapist can do about it at that point.
No it's fine, Batman is the real person. Bruce Wayne is the fake and that's why he needs therapy.
Every time he talks to a therapist they end up becoming a villain.
"Heroes In Crisis" There's a top secret therapist for the heroes to consult with.

Batman goes to the therapist in his cowl.
I remember in some of the animated series that he would go to therapy but was not open and putting up his playboy billionaire persona. Honestly it seemed like a waste of a time for him if he wasn't being honest, unless it was to keep up appearances. Closest I think he gets to actual therapy is talking to Alfred.
God forbid a man has hobbies
