Therapists in Maryland
Does anyone know of any place where you can see a therapist/psyciatrist (sorry if that's not the correct spelling) in the Annapolis, Maryland area without your parents knowing ? My parents are completely against that stuff and I really need someone to talk to because my friends and parents aren't helping much, so that's why I ask. Any help would be appreciated ! Thank you !

You can see your school psychologist or counselor, but they'll most likely refer you to another therapist outside of the school and notify your parents.
If you plan to see a therapist outside of school, you will probably need parental consent if you are a minor. Even if you didn't they will eventually ask for you to bring your parents in so they can speak with them.
Last thing, there is no such think as free counseling (unless you go at school), so be prepared to pay at least $100+ per visit.

Depending on your school, it is possible to see the school psychologist without your parents knowing. They have the same degree as any other psychiatrists and therapists, and chances are, you wouldn't have to pay.
There is also something called "internet therapy" in which you can talk online to a therapist (again, with the same degree as another therapist). It costs money, but depending on your financial situation it is possible for your parents not to have to know. Here is a website for you to take a look at:

Also keep in mind that if you are in danger of hurting yourself or others, it is necessary for your parents to know, no matter who you choose to talk to. Therapy sessions are confidential except in the cases of possible harm.
I have done extensive research in psychology and know about a lot of things. If you ever have any specific questions, feel free to drop a message in my inbox.
Good luck!
