Hi.
You can visit either of the two. Depending on a detailed evaluation , you may require only psychotherapy or medicines+psychotherapy.
If your problems are mild, then only psychotherapy will be enough.
A psychologist will be able to do evaluation and psychotherapy.
A psychiatrist in addition to the above will be able to prescribe medicines if required.
Look at the available options in your area and plan the consultation.
Regards.
