Can I see a psychologist without parents as a minor?
I’m 17 years old and I live in Canada. Can I legally visit a psychologist without my parents knowing? Or do I need parental consent?
If I can visit without my parents knowing, would it end up on my medical record? I want a diagnosis for a mental illness I’m 99% positive I have, but I don’t want my parents to find out until I’m ready to tell them.
Thanks in advance since I’m anon!!💖💖
Edit: Since I live in Canada, psychologists are free until you’re an adult (they’re also free if you’re a student) so I don’t have to worry about my parents finding out through payments (I think)
