If my parents pay for therapy, will they know what I talk about?
If you’re 18 or older, what you share in session stays between you and your therapist. Information is only released with your written consent, except in the rare situations where the law requires it, such as when someone’s safety is at risk. A parent paying for sessions does not give them access to what you discuss. If you have questions about how this works for you, ask your therapist in your first session.
