I think it's fair enough if you've truly dealt with old issues to not want to go back into it. Not everyone finds that sort of treatment helpful, and focussing on things in the 'here and now' can be more beneficial. You will probably need to discuss things with a psychiatrist/do a mental health history with them so they can establish whether the voice you hear is psychotic in nature or not and whether you'd benefit from medication. (Which should be up to you whether you take it or not - just make sure you're honest about your feelings).

Some forms of therapy focus more on challenging negative thought processes - therapy like CBT, which generally a more practical/skills-based therapy than going into the deep, dark stuff. Other forms of therapy involve helping with any social/relationship difficulties you may have which impinge on your current mental health/happiness in life.
