In most states, if you are above the age of 14, you can recive professinal help without it being the therpist being required to share the information with your paents unless they suspect that you might be a danger to yourself. Unfortunatly, unless you can find a free clinic, you may be required to pay a fee for the visit. You can also talk with a therpist online or over the phone and do so anonymously.

There are charity organisations who can give you counselling below the age of 18. It would however be best to sit down with your parents and talk to them as they may be able to help.

You could talk to me. We could arrange a time to meet each week. I could try my best to be helpful.

If you have a bus nearby, it can be helpful to take it to the place you are going unless the place is far. If you have money saved up, you can use that if the charge for this therapist is in that budget. You could get a friend to help or another family member that you trust.

If you are under 18, I doubt this is possible. I don't imagine professionals talk to minors without parental consent, and you don't have your own health insurance yet. If you are over 18, but don't have your own health insurance, you will either have to pay out of pocket to speak to a professional. If you are over 18 and have your own health insurance, then I assume this is not a problem for you.
If seeing a professional or paying for one is out of the question due to either age or health insurance and financial status, consider searching for support groups in your area. Sometimes professionals volunteer their services to lead support groups. Also, even if it's a support group without a professional therapist, you might be able to benefit from getting to speak to people.
If you are in school, try looking into any resources that your school might offer.

You should let your parents know that you need a counselor if you’re below eighteen years old. If you’re over eighteen years old, it doesn’t matter if they don’t want you seeing help, because it is your right. If you’re younger than 18, ask their permission and talk it out. Are you over 18? Then you have enough rights. I understand how you feel completely; wondering how your parents react.

I think it depends how old you are. I believe, if you're 16 you can go to any medical professional and they don't have to disclose that you went to them.

Some cities have places you can go to. Where I live, you can go somewhere and talk with a counselor. Free the first 3 times and they don't need any information and your parents won't know unless it's severe. However, they can't give you medicine without your parents knowing.
