Glad you want help: I hope you can find it confidentially, but since you are underage it might be hard to prevent parent(s) knowing a bit. Don't let that stop you though. Tell people up front how important it is to you. Perhaps you can offer your promise to not self-harm for their agreement to not reveal things you want private. Permission from a parent to treat does not = a right to know content. I'm hoping you win.
