The short answer is 'No,' but keep reading. Even though you are under 18, what you share in session is still bound by confidentiality laws. However, as a minor, there are some exceptions that you should know: - If you disclose that you (or another minor you know) are being physically, emotionally or sexually abused I am required by law to report that to the appropriate agencies. This includes abuse from adults OR peers (yes, if you tell me a peer has sent your nudes without your permission, I am legally required to make a report). - If you are in imminent danger of killing yourself or seriously harming someone else. Some of the time parents want to know if progress is being made in therapy, what is going on, etc. I will always check in with you PRIOR to having any discussions with your parents and will be completely transparent about what we will talk about, and you get to make decisions about what I can and cannot share with your parents (with the exceptions of safety measures outlined above).
