Brief Answer:
Consultation

Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

The best treatment for this would be a combination of medication management and psychotherapy with a psychiatrist. Medications might consist of an SSRI such as escitalopram or sertraline, and psychotherapy will support this. I recommend finding a psychiatrist in your area.
