You don't have to have debilitating problems to go see a therapist. This is one reason I think there's a fight against stigma about it. I think the simple rule of thumb is, if you're thinking you might want to get help with some issue, but don't want to bother friends, you could go see someone and talk to them and see how it goes. Nowadays there's lots of apps to feel around in this space (I would look for apps addressing mood and mental wellness). I don't have any specific recommendations but it's another option if you just don't feel like going in to see someone in person at first. You could also take a screening test (probably depression and/or anxiety): https://screening.mhanational.org https://screening.mhanational.org
