I would read as much about therapy as possible (good link I like, http://www.metanoia.org/ ) and get some feel for kinds and types of therapists and how it all works and see if I could find something that appeals to me.

I was in college and very depressed/having difficulty thinking straight so asked a friend to help me and she worked for a faculty member in the Health department who suggested what course I should take/how the campus counseling center worked and confirmed that would be a good idea/place for me to start.
