Be honest: It is great that you are interested in helping yourself by expressing your feelings with a therapist. If your parents love you, then they will want to help you heal and grow. If that means going to a psychologist or therapist, then ask directly. Say that you have thought about it and you think that talking to someone would help. I wish you well. You can find a psychologist here: locator.Apa.Org.
