Yes. That's why judges are reluctant to grant joint custody to parents who have a contentious relationship. It is common for one parent to object to such issues as a way to maintain control over the other parent and to continue the strife that led to the divorce. The child should not suffer.
If the parents disagree the parent who wants to arrange therapy for the child should make certain to obtain recommendations in writing from professionals stating the need and the reasons for therapy. If the other parent still disagrees it would help to discuss the issue with your attorney. If that's not possible then the parent who wants to arrange therapy should go ahead and if the other parent takes the matter to court the recommendations can be used as evidence.
On the other hand, the parent who wants to arrange therapy could take the issue to court for a ruling before scheduling the counseling.
