It takes a lot to reach out and ask someone for help, whether you're a psych major or a therapist is irrelevant. I have a bad habit of doing similar things, where me and another person might have the same exact problem but it's so much easier to help/advise another than it is to help myself. The latter involves emotional blocks/interference. Same reason why surgeons never operate on someone they know. So your situation is not so bizarre.
Remember, no problems are too petty or pathetic to a psychologist. Even if you are feeling suicidal over a crush, normal people might belittle such a situation, but shrinks know better to not judge and evaluate each situation objectively.
