I think a big point is are you looking for therapy or are you looking for medication and a diagnosis.

If therapy you are best of looking for a psychologist if medication a psychiatrist.

There are lots of different therapies around so it may be worth looking at what sounds right for you. E.g. psychoanalysis looks back at your childhood and works through traumas that resulted, whereas CBT would look more at what is going on in your current life and trying to resolve the problematic behaviours.
