How to set up a therapy apointment?

So I have bad anxiety and I've been wanting to set up a therapy apointment for a while now. I already know where I want to go, but I dont know what to say when I call. Do I just say "I'd like to set up a therapy apointment?" This may sound like a dumb question but it's been worrying me and I haven't been able to make myself call.

Update:

The place I want to go is a hospital with a mental health wing, so I want to specify that. I realize this should be easy, but I have really extreme anxiety and it's really hard for me to make calls like this.

    Treatment usually begins by visiting the family doctor, who can make a referral. This is because when there's a psychiatric problem the first thing is to rule about some physical ailment causing it. The things you would want to tell the doctor include how you feel at different parts of the day, any symptoms you might have such as change of appetite or sleep, and things in your life affecting how you feel.

    There's a lot of things that can help. Don't overlook simple stress managment methods. I have advice from experts about this.

    After you say "I'd like to set up a therapy appointment", they will ask you questions. Be truthful and take your time answering their questions, they are trained to be patient and compassionate with everyone who calls. They probably know more about you than you know. So please! Make that call.

    You will be okay. Just call and ask for the mental health department, and ask to set up an appointment. It's great that you are taking care of yourself and setting up this apointment.

    Same as you set up every other kind of appointment.   Either get a referral or call in and ask for an appointment.   It's not rocket science.

    Yes...you just say "I'd like to setup an appointment". WHY is this so hard?
