Definitely talk to the school counselor. Counselors are trained to help with situations like this, and she will take you seriously rather than brushing it off like your parents did. Actually, one of the jobs of therapists is to advocate for you. If you ask her, she can probably explain to your parents that what you're dealing with is serious and that you need to get professional help. She is an authority figure, so your parents will hopefully listen to her more. She could even give you a list of therapists/psychiatrists you can see.

As for your parents, they seem to be ignorant/in denial. It's easier for them to pretend that nothing is wrong than to face up to the seriousness of what you're going through. I'm really sorry you have to deal with that and I hope they'll listen to your school counselor.
