Wondering if seeking therapy fits with Islamic teachings

Assalamu alaikum. I’ve been struggling with something for a while and wanted to share my thoughts. For the past 3–4 years, I’ve been dealing with deep depression, and it’s getting really heavy. My family says that as Muslims, we don’t need therapy-just prayer and worship of Allah should be enough. I tried so many things on my own to feel better, but nothing really worked. I know without a doubt that being close to Allah and praying brings the best peace, but therapy seems to have practical tools for specific struggles. I’m curious if it’s actually allowed or even encouraged in Islam, and would appreciate any authentic sources or evidences.
