should I get a psychiatrist??¿

hi, i am 16 y/o and i suffer from extreme anxiety and arachnophobia. since covid and lockdown it has all gotten so much worse and my parents are worried about me. I have gotten to the point where I can’t go into a room without someone else going in to check for spiders or bugs and I struggle to talk about them bc it triggers my anxiety attacks. im shaking as I write this. anyways, in two years I leave for uni and at some point in the near future I may have to live on my own and I am absolutely petrified of the idea. I couldn’t dream of it and dealing with bugs myself. I have never had a therapist or anything but my parents think I should get one to help reduce my phobia but I’m rlly nervous to go talk to a stranger about my biggest fear and tbh I’m just scared to talk about it bc I will probably cry and it won’t be pretty. but i am also so scared of the future bc of my phobia that I don’t think I could ever live alone. I’m just wondering if anyone else has dealt with the same thing and if getting a psychiatrist has helped them, any advice would be sm appreciated ❤️
