How to talk to a therapist without your parents knowing?

If you're under the age of 18, it is very hard. You can always talk to your guidance counselors about your problems at school

Sometimes your school has a program or a counselor available to their students- I remember my elementary and high schools having several counselors available to their students, all under complete privacy.

Look for a free online therapist or talk to a qualified therapist website. They might be able to help without your parents knowing.

In almost all schools they provide a school counsellor, whom you can talk all of your issues to but the quality of them can vary, and they aren't always confidential. You could start by making sure they understand that the effectiveness of their job is based on you feeling like they can be trusted with your confidence.

There is actually an online therapist here within the website here (http://www.7cups.com/online-therapy/) ... best of luck :D

Look up the lowest age for confidentiality or ask the therapist before a session or at first contact and they can inform you.

You can talk to a school counselor. As long as you aren't coming across as very suicidal, they will not tell your parents anything, especially if you ask them not to. They are required to keep your confidentiality, as long as they don't feel you will harm yourself or others. You can schedule a time to talk to your counselor at lunch, before school, or after school. I'm pretty sure you can even schedule times during classes, if nothing else will be able to work for you. All you have to do is go into the office and ask for a request slip.

Well there is always the online therapy outlets, and school counselors if you are an educational facility. If you are in college, many of them offer counseling services to students paid for by your tuition. There is also crisis helplines. But depending on why you feel you need to speak with a therapist, I suggest on communicating why you feel you can't tell your parents, or want to do therapy without their knowledge. Support is important, but I do understand why someone would want to keep their therapy session private. With that being said, doing whatever is best for your well being is important, however you feel you need to go about it.

You can contact a local therapist. Since "the law protects the confidentiality of all communications between a client and psychotherapist" you can feel safe that they won't tell anyone whatever you share with them. You can ask them not to tell your parents and they should respect your desire.

Assuming you’re a minor, remember that you still have rights. You can request to speak to your therapist alone, and unless they have reason to believe you may be a threat to yourself or others, you can ask that they not tell your parents what you talked about
