Eva Mendes says she is "big on therapy".

The 'Hitch' actress - who checked into a rehabilitation clinic earlier this year to be treated for "personal issues" - doesn't think there is anything wrong with people seeking help from a professional.

Eva said: "I'm big on therapy. I've always said I love talking about therapy, because there's nothing wrong with it. Why wait until something goes terrible in your life to start fixing things?"

While the 34-year-old actress has so far refused to comment on the specifics of her rehab visit, she hinted it had something to do with her inability to cope with her success.

She told E! Online reporter Marc Malkin: "Up until recently, I was really uncomfortable with having success and enjoying it. I just couldn't deal with that. How can I have so much? It's not fair. How can the world have so little? I allowed it to mess with me in the sense that I just didn't know how to handle it."
