    Your school counselor is your best bet. Since you are under age, your guardian will need to make you an appointment with a therapist. Here are a couple places in your area, it wouldn't hurt to call them yourself and ask if they charge on a sliding scale (depending on the household income).

    Child & Family Guidance Center

    Valley Child Guidance Clinic

    1669 West Ave J Ste 202

    Lancaster, CA 93534

    Phone: (661) 265-8627

    Hathaway-Sycamores Child & Family Svcs

    Community Svcs

    44738 Sierra Hwy

    Lancaster, CA 93534-3225

    Phone: (661) 942-5749

    LAC DMH Antelope Valley MHC

    349 A East Ave K-6

    Lancaster, CA 93535-4508

    Phone: (661) 723-4260

    The last one is probably most likely a sliding scale clinic as it is state funded.

    Your school should have a psychologist or guidance counselor on staff who could refer you to a therapist.

    You could talk to your school counselor or you could try your county mental health office.
