Consent, confidentiality, and custody
The questions that come up in the first ten minutes of a visit and have a different answer in every state: whether a sixteen-year-old can consent to therapy on their own, what a parent is entitled to know, whether both divorced parents have to agree, and what the clinician must do when a minor discloses risk. Each page cites the statute and links to the official text.
