I will tell you going to a therapist can be great, and everyone can gain something from seeing one. I say that not just because Doc (my wife) has a PSYD and it would mean more patients, but because it is true. It helps you learn better how to deal with your issues and your problems, and may not change other people but how you deal with them.
As far as medical records not sure what part you mean, if you go to a Psychiatrist vs Psychologist. If you are dealing with emotional issues and you do not think you are very depressed then Psychologist is probably more the direction you should go. Psychologist expertize is dealing with emotional issues, and helping you work through these problems. Psychiatrist is more for people who are more severally impacted by the issues and need medication.
As far as medical records go which future employers can see. A lot of people including executives see therapists, and employers do not have access to medical records (only insurance companies should have access). And if you do not go through insurance then there is no paper trail at all, except for the Dr, who can not reveal it (at risk of his/her license).
But my challenge to you is this, if you go you have to be open, because if you do not go open and willing to accept and embrace therapy then there is no point in going.
