Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
If you feel you have a serious problem that's getting in the way of your normal life/happiness/etc., they will take you seriously if they're professional at all. If you can't talk to your parents at all, maybe try talking to a teacher or guidance counselor about getting outside therapy?
Your insurance should cover therapy, even if you're on Chip or something, as long as you don't miss any sessions. If you have to, just look up local therapists/psychologists in your area, call, and ask about your situation. I'm sure they'd be more than willing to help you out. It's very responsible of you to admit that you need help in something.
However, if this dosen't seem to work for you for some reason (it should), talk to your parents. It might be embarassing or scary, but whatever's going on, I'm sure they can help. And if they can't, they'll get you to the proper place where you'll be able to get help.
If all else fails, I'd recommend to talk to the school counselor. They're licensed therapists, and they're really nice, though no one really tends to go to them anymore. They can help more than you think.
It'll all be okay, and if you ever need help, talk to a friend, parent, stranger, etc.

Any professional will take you seriously.
Are you near a university? Because some universities have practices that their graduate students participate in and provide just as good a service at a pay scale. Contact any university's psychological services (you can find their contact info by going to their main website and search for "psychological services") and ask them about it.
If the problem is as serious as you are saying it is, then why not tell your parents? They would be able to form a support base for you. Or even going to an older, trusted family member could help. They could have connections or solutions that would be able to help you.

That is not true. If you feel you truly have a problem, a licensed therapist WILL take you seriously.
If your parents won't help you, go to an aunt, uncles, parents of a best friend, or another adult you trust. Let them know that you need help, but your parents don't believe you.
If you still cannot go to a therapist, try starting a journal. It really helps, and it's private, so you don't have to hide your feelings anymore.

if you think you need a theripist then you most likely do. sit down your parents and talk to them. a serious mature conversation. insurance can help cover the cost plus there are other things to help with that. you know what you need better than anyone else so take this seriously and just talk to them
