What are therapists legally able to disclose if you are underage?

Asked by tianalovesyou (711points) July 17th, 2013

I’m 15 and going to be starting therapy soon. Is my therapist allowed to tell my parents what I say? I self harm and would not like anyone else, especially my parents finding out. Also does the therapist have to tell authorities if I mention abuse?
