I’m an SLP (I don’t stutter). I’d say go if you would like more guidance, but definitely try to find an SLP that specializes in stuttering. A lot of SLPs are “jacks of all trades” and some aren’t as confident in treating stuttering (but will definitely still care and try to help of course). I had a supervisor in grad school who had no idea what to do with kids who stutter on her caseload so I had to come up with most of the sessions during that placement. Make sure the SLP’s approach is also considerate of your experience with stuttering and not just the way your stuttering sounds. Strictly focusing on reducing the stutter sometimes leads to redundant and unhelpful sessions (“do this sentence with that strategy” for example). Also consider insurance as another person said you might not have coverage at your age for this type of treatment. If you end up paying for private therapy, you want it to fit your needs! Another thing to consider is asking a local graduate school program if they have openings for new clients as many of them have their own clinic and this is totally free. If you’re a college student try seeing if your school has a clinic. :) and even though they are graduate students they are often the most up-to-date on research and they’re really motivated to help!
