Need help with my anxiety issue

I’m ashamed and embarrassed about my condition. My mind is full of thoughts and fears which is leading me to go through repetitive behaviors. I tried ignoring everything in the beginning but it was only increasing my anxiety. Even after ignoring these behaviors, they keep coming back. I’m scared now. These thoughts are haunting me. I’m not able to work peacefully. I feel like no one is there to understand my situation. It was one of my friends who suggested me to consult an anxiety disorder therapist in Toronto. Has anyone else gone through the same situation? If so, where did you consult for the treatment? Please help me out. I’m desperately in need of help.
