From my personal experience I think you should speak in general terms with a qualified teacher, rebbe, rabbi, etc. and ask them if they think you should see a psychologist. Therapy can be very effective, but not everyone gains from it, and going to the wrong shrink can sometimes do more damage than good. You just need to find him/her, but there’s someone in every community, usually someone who keeps a low profile but does a lot behind the scenes, who is well qualified to give you advice as to whether or not you should see a professional, and what kind, and sometimes even give you a specific name. Just please don’t use trial and error, because it can hurt badly.
