Seeing a therapist can be scary, I know. I've been through many in my time and each time I go to try another one I get scared. Sometimes scary things can end up being very good things, though. Fear can protect us, but also holds us back.

Bill also makes a good point about the lexapro. If it helped you then it's definitely worth bringing up with your doc about taking it again. Doing both the lexapro and therapy could be very beneficial for you.
