I have never spoken to a professional but I feel like I am really struggling with anxiety and depression from my job and I have trauma from my parents alcoholism that I never really dealt with. What kind of professional should I seek out to get help on those matters?

Find a reputable therapist who you’re comfortable with and free yourself of carrying that burden alone. You seem like a pretty self aware individual and that should lend itself to productive therapy sessions. Always start with behavioral solutions before resorting to medication if possible.

Therapist/Psychologist is your first stop and I’m sure EY has you covered with some level of mental health benefit. You’ll probably have a good amount of sessions available to you through your benefit provider per calendar year.

Also I find doing telepresence therapy sessions to be similar in effectiveness.

Lol I input 25 yds as a lap but maybe I needed to put 50? Silly little thing but it’ll drive me crazy haha
