You mean a Psychiatrist? Damn near all of us here have been to one and most are still going . It helps to have someone to talk to that is objective

If you find talking difficult at first maybe you could write down the things you want to say and show them to your mom and/or a psych or your social worker and it might make things easier

only thing i can say is yes
i mean talking was nice and helpful
but i mean you got to find one that fits for you. think about what you want, like is gender a problem? Do you want one that specilizes in a specific area?

you know ask yourself these questions and come up with some answers and then go from there and as well, and do some reasearch about a psych near you, that you may be intersted in.

i hope this helps in some way even a little way.
