Am i allowed to see a doctor about a mental assessment without parental permission / knowledge?

States vary: The laws in states vary as to what age teens can access health care without parental consent. You might start by asking your guidance counselor at school to help you find out what is ok in your state. Many states allow those older than 12 to get evaluated. I would encourage you to talk to a parent though. I suspect they really do care about you. If not possible because of abuse or fear, go to er.
