A few: Psychiatrists - psychologists - social workers - psychiatric nurse practitioners - marriage/family counselors - clergy counselors and perhaps others. Since side effects are of concern, i'd advise a "talk" therapy first to determine if medications can be avoided or if they would be helpful. It is great that you are interested in getting help. That makes it very likely that things will go well.
