I've already tried doing that and I wasn't able to succeed. If you're a minor, your parents are going to have to make an appointment (I tried making it on my own, didn't work) and if you need insurance, your insurance will probably notify your parents.

Being a minor this can be extremely difficult as you are most likely on your parents insurance. If your therapist does not require guardian consent you can always email them inquiring how your sessions will appear on the insurance statements. You may also consider inquiring about out of pocket payments

Try free counseling and professional help online. But before that, try talking it out with your parents. Understand them and make them understand you. If that doesn’t work, try seeking online help♡

Honestly, you really can't. One thing you could try is when you go to get your regular doctor's check-up, you could ask to talk to them privately. Another thing you could to is talk to a school counselor. We all at 7Cups are here to help!

If you are still under the legal guardianship of your parents, you cannot see a therapist physically without parental consent for insurance reasons. However there are online resources that can vary in prices, but there is also a free online service: http://freeonlinetherapy.org/

Try talking to a school counselor or a teacher or a friend, childline, the mix, seven cups or even teach yourself some self-soothing skills.

I had to deal with this. It's not fun. My parents hate therapy. Do an online therapy, and choose one that you don't need insurance for. Use your debit card or credit card to pay for it. Best of luck.
